Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
Dear Pedro, As suggested, I updated to LO 4.1.5.1. No messages appeared during installation. Had to restart Windows 7 to start LO. The printing problem (“No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”) arised again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
Dear all, I updated to LO 4.1.2.3 and then to LO 4.1.3.2 whithout the printing problem arising. While installing LO 4.1.4.2, the following message appeared (in Greek): /The following applications use files to be updated by this installation:// // //Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host //(Process Id: 3896)// // //Close the applications and press Resume //installation to continue//./ I started the Task Manager, selected 'Show processes from all users' and indeed noticed the above process running. It vanished before pressing End Process, which allowed me to resume installation. The installation stopped again showing a similar message, this time about processes 3616 and 3732, which, however, I didn't identify in the Task Manager. After a while, I pressed 'Resume installation' once again. When the installation finished, there appeared no printing problem. [It is worth noticing that a similar message had appeared the first time I upgraded to LO 4.1.4.2 and at that time I opted to abort installation, restart computer and install LO 4.1.4.2, which produced the printing problem.] Finally, I updated to LO 4.2.0.2 without experiencing the printing problem.

The main thing to avoid is having 2 versions open at the same time as each other. That kinda means closing the Quickstarter (which i always avoid anyway (except on Windows)) Pinpointing exactly which version first had the regression sounds like it might help the devs quite a bit!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
Dear all, I let LO create a new user profile by renaming the old one. Unfortunately, it didn't work. This was rather expected, because, as I said, the problem appeared in both user accounts (administrator, standard user), so we have to assume that something has corrupted both user accounts at the same time, which IMHO sounds highly improbable. So I restored a previous system image including LO 4.1.1.2 and the printing problem just disappeared. I updated Windows 7 and all applications except LO and again I didn't experience any printing problem. Then I created a new system image and updated LO to the latest version. Guess what! The problem reappeared! This left me no other choice but to restore the latest system image and be content with LO 4.1.1.2. Thank you again for your time and interest. I appreciate it a lot.

[libreoffice-users] “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
Hi everybody, I can't print LO documents on a Samsung ML-1750 printer attached to a USB port of my laptop. The printer doesn't appear in the print dialogue. Moreover, when I select “Printer Settings” in the File menu I receive the message “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”. When I press “OK” I get no response. I have LO 4.1.4.2 running on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). All other applications print normally. The problem appears in both administrative and standard user accounts, probably after upgrading to LO 4.1.4.2. Temporarily, as a workaround I export LO documents to the PDF format. I am a fan of LO and would appreciate a lot any help.
