Xara Printing

I use CUPS as well. From the File menu in the Printer Setup, does it show your printer? I had to select my printer from the drop down list before I could print.

yes, I've got my printer in Printer Setup. Though I do not have a drop-down menu, it is a just a list, see it below. As you can see I have my printer ticked. However in the print dialog box I have "Generic postcript" as a printer. So when I click Print, nothing happens

I have to say that sometime between rev 1692 and 1742 the ability to print from XaraLX has disappeared. I cannot get the program to print using CUPS or any other print configuration.

I'm using Debian 3.1r2 and Gnome 2.8.1

The debug report created by XaraLX has been added to the BZ 1609 report.

Well, I'm printing fine with FC5, with latest updates through yum, and Gnome 2.14 from Xara r1745. We will have to wait until one of the developers sorts it all out for everyone's distro. We know that the printing function is not finished.

I set my default printer in Gnome System/Administration/Printing, after providing the password. Patience, patience... then just leave it to my page size. I don't have a postscript printer, but that is taken care with through ghostscript as I understand Xara uses presently. <smile>

Hi Frank,

Glad to know someone can print from XaraLX

All will be worked out as the developers progress in their excellent work.

well, I tried to compile xara from the source. It was ok, but I do not have 'Printer Setup' option at all (it's inactive, grey) and if I try to print to my printer it crashes with the following output from the panel:

(XaraLX:7423): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Could not create filter from description 'frgba': filter 'frgba' is unknown
Aborted

Any help with printing will be really appreciated.

Do you have a place in your OS to select a default printer? Have you done that?
