I have writen a small stock prog, and want to print various reports, but when
I use the printer.begin function it does not see my printer. The printer
works fine in any other app I try to print from. I am using Ubuntu with
Gnome and have the gb, gb.db, gb.db.form, gb.form, gb.qt, and gb.qt.ext
modules loaded. Why wont my app find my printer
ps. if I print to file it works fine.
It happened to me too, on a machine running the latest K-Ubuntu (don't
remember the version, I don't use Ubuntu).
There was no way to see installed printers from gambas, but every other
program worked perfectly.
I used the strace(1) utility to see what was happening, and discovered
that gambas was reading a file in /etc, perhaps printcap, or similar,
where there was no mention of installed printers. The printers was
instead reported in another file. I renamed printcaps, or deleted it,
and all went well: gambas started to read the correct file, probably
because it was finding no more the erroneous one.
I am sorry about not remembering things - it is not my machine. You can
go in /etc and see which file contains the names of installed printers,
and check that gambas reads that file. Moreover that machine was a
Kubuntu one, not using Gnome; so things can be even more different.
