So it seems some problem with the installer/LO printing has sneaked into branch 4.1 after version 4.1.3 but it is not present in the 4.2 branch... Could you please try the latest version from the 4.1 branch? It's 4.1.5.1 available from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/ It is important to find out if the next "stable" version does not have a regression... Thanks!

Be aware that 4.2.0.2 is a Release Candidate for the currently UNstable branch and is VERY likely to have regressions (since it's a x.x.0 i.e. zero version) but then again branch 4.1 also has regressions... If you don't mind testing then use branch 4.2 on daily basis and report whatever problems you find. Can you create a Bug report for this problem? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice If you do, please report on this topic/thread the number of the bug so that it can be followed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
Hi Tom and list, recreating the user profile might work, but sometimes one would like to know what is wrong. So, is there a manual explaining the format of registrymodifications.xcu Which part of LO is modifying the file?

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.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
hi :) There is a way of installing multiple versions of LibreOffice alongside each other "in parallel" https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel It's not quite straight-forwards but hopefully the wiki-guide there makes it easier. 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!

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!

I'll keep you posted. Best regards, Yanis On 16/1/2014 13:03, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Blimey!! Good work doing all that! Sounds like a bit of a nightmare! It is really disturbing that the 4.1.4 doesn't work but the 4.1.1 does. We don't normally get that type of regression. We do occasionally get a regression in a newer branch, such as the 4.2.0 (especially when it's still pre-release) but generally the sub-point releases don't add new features or stir-up lurking problems. I know you have done a LOT of work already but is it possible to post a bug-report about this? Also is it possible to test-drive the 4.2.0 easily and see if the problem is also in there? Errr, that 2nd request is more work than i expect anyone to put in but if it's really easy then it might help. Similarly for Pedro's requests to try the 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. I think those are less important than trying the 4.2.0 because the regression might have already vanished in the new branch. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport LibreOffice usually has 2 branches. One that is "stable branch" and one that is kinda "new features and extra compatibility with MS Office formats, errr branch". We don't seem to have a short and snappy title for the 2nd branch. Obvious contenders, such as "development branch", are inadequate or just plain completely wrong. Both branches are actively developed so a "newer release" could be in either branch. Errr, to cut a long story short = if the 4.1.1 worked then the 4.1.4 should also work but the 4.2.0 might not. This is roughly like everything working fine in Win7 or Xp but suddenly finding problems with Win8. So what is disturbing here is that it's happened in the middle of the branch = like turning on an Win7 machine one day and it suddenly not working for no reason.

Between your current 4.1.1.2 and the latest 4.1.4.2 you have 4.1.2.3 and 4.1.3.2 which you can get from here http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ It would be great if you could test with those builds and check where the problem first occurs (and along the way get your system updated to the most advanced version that suits your needs). Then you could report the bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice This would be a nice way to contribute to the project ;) Best regards, Pedro -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/No-default-printer-found-Please-choose-a-printer-and-try-again-tp4092136p4092486.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http
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.

So it seems some problem with the installer/LO printing has sneaked into branch 4.1 after version 4.1.3 but it is not present in the 4.2 branch... Could you please try the latest version from the 4.1 branch? It's 4.1.5.1 available from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/ It is important to find out if the next "stable" version does not have a regression... Thanks!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
Hi :) This is all brilliant stuff for the bug-report! Many thanks for testing all this! Really all this should be being done through the bug-report rather than on this mailing-list. This mailing-list is really about helping Users with individual problems and then hopefully moving on when the problem is solved. In this case the problem has already been solved and the newer branch doesn't have the problem at all. So, if you find problems printing the fix is to use 4.2.x On the other hand it's interesting to try to work at problem usually handled by other teams to hopefully increase our understanding of what they do or why they sometimes seem to have an odd approach. So, many thanks Yanis! :) Regards from Tom :) On 22 January 2014 09:37, Yanis Zavakos wrote: > Dear Pedro, > > As suggested, I updated to LO 4.1.5.1. No messages appeared during > installation.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”
Hi :) +1 Good points, as usual. So in this case the 4.1.3 is the most recent best stable version for all the other machines on your networks but the 4.2.0 might be interesting on your own machine for only you to use.
