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 'turn on' options were already turned on, and I've turned on the third. Then tried Xnview. Still only the print-to-PDF option.

Thanks for trying to help.

Ian G.

The Flatpack version is not produced by Pierre and is downloaded directly from Flathub using this link on the forum XnView MP Announcements page.

As the Flathub version is produced by a third party there is inevitably a delay before a new version becomes available, so it is worth checking which version will be downloaded, and in some cases as currently with the XnConvert download, the available version may be several versions out of date. As Flathub versions are packaged with all required dependencies they are substantially larger.

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 extra step, provided the resulting print quality is OK.

Must remember to try that next time I want to print an image.

Sincerely
Ian G.

I have Nobara 41 experimenting this issue.
On XNVIEW page it doent have a Fefora distro version and so far I installed the flatpak one.
Should I try from Snap?
