Can't print from Scribus : only "File" is suggested #15

Closed antistress closed 4 years ago

antistress commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I've just installed latest net.scribus.Scribus from FlatHub and note that it's the 1st time I launch Scribus.

I tried to print my work but I only could save it into a ps file, ready to be print outside Scribus.

Note that for instance org.libreoffice.LibreOffice allow me to print directly

Thanks

Sadly this is an upstream issue; Scribus doesn’t support the printing portal, so I doubt we can get this working here. You can always save a PDF and print that.

Thanks.

See https://github.com/scribusproject/scribus/issues/126

i see that @jurf replied in the other ticket: of course, if flatpak needs to communicate with a portal, it's probably up to somebody from the flatpak community (or using flatpak) to come up with a patch.

In PR https://github.com/flathub/net.scribus.Scribus/pull/16, I...

  1. added --socket=cups (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/3279)
  2. updated the runtime to 5.14
  3. updated the app to the most recent SVN revision

Unfortunately, this still not makes this work (tested under Kubuntu 20.04 with flatpak 1.6.3).

Maybe @grulja has an idea.

grulja commented 4 years ago

I think I found the reason, we have "--no-cups" option used when building qtbase. I will fix it on our side.

grulja commented 4 years ago

Update the runtime, it should work now. I was able to see printers in Scribus and also in Kate.

aoloe commented 4 years ago

perfect, thanks!

antistress commented 4 years ago

I got Qt runtimes updates sooner, but still no printer for me. Thanks

Do you have Flatpak 1.6.x? The --socket=cups is not supported in older releases.

antistress commented 4 years ago

$ dpkg -s flatpak | grep ^Version Version: 1.6.3-1 (Debian Testing)

antistress commented 4 years ago

FWIW I've just uninstalled and then reinstalled Flatpak Scribus and bug is still there

grulja commented 4 years ago

I think the build of Scribus with the cups socket enabled hasn't been pushed to updates yet, you can find it here https://flathub.org/builds/#/builders/32/builds/18469, where you can download with the command below.

I think I'll be more comfortable to wait for next update since I"m not sure what will be the consequences of this regarding my current net.scribus.Scribus version and next updates Thanks, I'll let you know

The build will go into updates in few hours so you should be able to test it later today.

jurf commented 4 years ago

I just published the build, it should be up in a matter of minutes.

@antistress regarding installing the testing version, a simple flatpak uninstall net.scribus.Scribus//test would suffice to revert the changes.

Bug is solved for me : I can now see my printer ! Thanks :)
