Why should a simple text file not print?
The file in question is a perl script, about 4kB in size. When I load it into kate or kwrite, and try to print it out, all the expected print dialogs open, but after clicking the 'Print' button, nothing happens.
CUPS (localhost:631) doesn't even show the job arriving in the print spool.
OTOH, other textfiles will print from kate/kwrite, and the perl script mentioned above _will_ print from LibreOffice writer.
Permissions on the file are 644. I am the owner.
It seems that only KDE apps are affected. I'm using openSUSE 12.1 and KDE 4.8.2
Interesting. I have a near opposite problem in 11.4/KDE3. Some apps print OK, others generate printer errors. Firefox can print plain text files, but causes printer errors trying to print web pages. YaST test pages only work if there has been no previous error since starting CUPS with it's cache & tmpfiles removed, or remove and recreate the entire printer in YaST. I never had printing trouble with 11.2, but for a long time after 11.3 was released, all printing was impossible in 11.3+ (and the then current Fedora and Mandriva) until Canon released a new driver. I even filed a (WONTFIX) bug about it. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683476 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
