Hi All,
=== openSUSE Leap
=== uname -r = 4.12.14-lp151.28.7-default
=== VERSION ="15.1"
=== ID="opensuse-leap"
=== Dell OptiPlex 780
=== X86-64
=== Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
=== Intel 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
=== Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller
=== Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz
=== 8Gb RAM
=== Intel SATA Controller [RAID mode]
=== 1 x 1Gb HD (Mirrored)
=== PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-219L
=== ipp://epson024f53.local:631/ipp/print EPSON WF-5110 Series
=== EPSON WF-5110 with driver EPSON WF-5110 Series, driverless, cups-filters 1.20.3
====================================================================
Since upgrading to LEAP 15.1, various problems exist.
LibreOffice, (LO), shows two printers whereas Yast, (with which I installed it), only shows one.
Only one of the 2 LO printers shown, prints, but there is no discrimination in the naming shown by LO and so I've learnt to pick the second one, which prints, but either does not receive the correct instructions from LO or is given incorrect instructions in that I always print from the front tray, but, if I do not load the rear feeder, all printing fails due to lack of paper.
I am specific about selecting the Front tray and usually only select the rear tray for thick paper.
When I print, LO tells me that I am printing 120 copies. I'm not, and when I'm desperate, and load the rear holder to get the job done, LO only prints the one copy despite telling me otherwise. That has changed, in earlier days it told me that 20 copies would be made, but weren't.
Often when trying to print from LO, the print dialogue fails to show any mounted printers!
Since 1995 I have been using the 'copy' function that Linux provides by highlighting the text, placing the cursor where I want it, and pressing the middle mouse button, hey presto.
It disappears, then it's there again and then it's gone! It's not funny.
This loss is not limited to LO, it's gone in other editors too.
Anyone else suffering this way?
All help gratefully received :-)
Regards
Chris
