I don't know about the original poster, but wouldn't help for the thing I noticed it with (e.g. MuseScore as an appimage). You have a generic app that's supposed to work everywhere, but it's the lowest common denominator, ignoring any distro-specific features. And there's the sandboxing to contend with, too. That said, yes printers are one of those dire bits of technology where you can expect to have power-cycle and factory reset things. And all those fancy features it touted were only available with the Windows driver they released at the time, and never updated, that only worked with the Windows release of the same time. Then you're expected to buy a new printer when you update your computer. Oh, and things (here) had been through reboots, and power outages. It's consistent behaviour. Trying to print with appimage software is a pain. I'd also found that some printouts would upset the CUPs server, it would error and go into offline mode, requiring you to re-enable the printer in CUPs. A rather stupid default behaviour. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
