I see. Thanks for your help. I believe that the move from QT4 to QT5 is the source of the change. At least it's what I understand after reading
http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2015-September/018692.html
It has nothing to do with hplip or CUPS.
I AM running qt5 for quite some time, but you are welcome to your thoughts. But, qt5 is not changing your print dialogue.
Surely the print dialogue is put by KDE/Plasma.
if that is the case, why is my dialogue the same as his previous which he still wants to see. I do have qt5/plasma5/kde
I don't know. But cups doesn't have dialogues on the desktop. It is either the desktop or the application. I don't "use" KDE, so I do not see what you see. On my main computer I have okular, but not on the laptop here. Ah, wait, I have access to a remote machine with KDE (42.2). Oh, but I do not have a printer defined: on the print dialogue, properties, the "advanced" tab is greyed out. Ok, I try with "konsole" on this laptop. Properties, and I see a "job options" dialogue. It is true, no place to choose the source of the paper, aka paper tray. Same thing on the remote server. Guessing, the desktop (KDE, its libraries) does have a print dialogue which applications can call, possibly with different options to show some components or not. It is possible that more than one version of the dialogue call exist. You see, konsole and okular in my machines display slightly different dialogues. Ok, found one. KDE help center. On the laptop, I do get the "advanced" tab, and in it I can select printer all options. I mean all the options my printer has. On the remote, same thing, but greyed out. So some programs show a different version of the print dialogue. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
