Priority: medium
Bug ID: 75472
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Other: List of printers is only read at app launch
time, never re-read, jobs fail silently
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Component: Printing and PDF export
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
It seems LibreOffice only reads the list of printers when it starts, and keeps
the connection live all the time. If the CUPS printserver restarts, or if the
laptop with LibreOffice is moved between the networks, LibreOffice cannot print
anymore until relaunched. This is quite serious inconvenience for users with
laptops.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open new empty document in LibreOffice Writer
2. Print it
3. Restart CUPS on the printserver (sudo service cups restart)
4. Try printing the document again
Current behavior:
LibreOffice silently fails to print without showing any error message.
Expected behavior:
Ideal: re-read the list of printers when Print dialog is shown, print the
document.
Less ideal: show error message that it couldn't print.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
