Greetings,
I have a question. It is not really about evince, per se, but I think that you folks may perhaps be able to tell me that answer, and that would be quite helpful. I'm trying to set up a fresh new FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE system and the support for my specific printer (Brother MFC-7860DW) is either broken or non-existant on this OS. That's unfortunate, especially given that this same networked printer is, and was, supported right out of the box on my old Ubuntu Linux 16.04 system. At the moment, I'm just trying to figure out what the mechanism is by which various applications, e.g. Evince, Firefox, etc. normally determine the set of printers that are present and available, i.e. the ones that are then offered to the user as alternatives in the print menu when a print operation is requested. How does Evince become aware of the set of available printers and their names? Is there a specific file someplace in the filesystem that holds this list? Or is there some specific API by which it is obtained by the applications that need it, e.g. Evince, Firefox, etc. ? _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
