Re: 1.8.0 Print dialog only displays option to print to PDF file

Thanks for the clarification.

It occurred to me after I posted this morning that, while it's easy to treat the printer issue as a big deal - you go looking for your printer and find only 'print to pdf - from a practical point of view, 'printing to pdf', and then printing from pdf is really only one ...

Re: 1.8.0 Print dialog only displays option to print to PDF file

Thank you for this suggestion.

I was able to install Flatseal very easily - it is in the Zorin 'software' set-up, or at least that recognises it.
I can, however, find no specific reference to Xnview in the Flatseal screens, so that may imply I haven't got the Flatpack version.

Two of your three ...

Re: 1.8.0 Print dialog only displays option to print to PDF file

Could be that.
I shall continue to watch this thread, and if a clear route to a solution emerges, I'll take it. But I mainly use XnView for editing stuff that will stay digital. Printing directly from it is relatively less urgent, and there are ways round.
Thanks for your persistence, anyway !

Re: 1.8.0 Print dialog only displays option to print to PDF file

Glad you seem to be provisionally sorted - but you're not sure what made the difference ?

I've just been through the 'print' process again, taking a series of screen dumps step by step, but I really don't think there's any point in editing and posting them. The crucial point remains that the ...

Re: 1.8.0 Print dialog only displays option to print to PDF file

I have taken my earlier speculation a stage further, by uninstalling XnView entirely, making sure the Printer is 'on' and then re-installing. But that doesn't change anything, either.
I can note,however, that both GIMP, and the Image Viewer installed in Zorin, print images, from the same computer ...

Re: 1.8.0 Print dialog only displays option to print to PDF file

I hoped I might have had an inspiration overnight. I'm pretty sure last night I booted up XnView first, and then fired up the printer only when I was ready to print. Maybe the printer needed to be 'live' before XnView was opened for XnView to be able to 'see' it ?

But I've tried that this morning ...

Re: 1.8.0 Print dialog only displays option to print to PDF file

I have used XNView as my go-to image editor and printer for 4 years from Trisquel, but I have just switched to Zorin 17 on the same machine, and have now run into this problem. My get-out-of-jail work-round has been to edit the image in XnView and then import it into LibreOffice, from where it has ...

Re: Run a saved slideshow

Thank you for this reply. I've continued to fiddle since posting, and have noticed (a) XnView itself is significantly different re slideshow in the two installations I've mentioned and (b) in both there is an icon on the top bar for slideshow.
I don't use that bar routinely, so hadn't noticed it ...

Run a saved slideshow

Good morning from Wales, UK
I run Trisquel on my main online PC and Zorin 16 on another associated with music-making. I have XnView on both - it has been for some time my first recourse for editing image files.
I have only recently come to the slideshow function of XnView, though I have run ...
