Bug ID: 355005
Summary: no notification on printing failure
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: printing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The Debian package of okular will silently fail to print if the cups-bsd
package is not installed. The only indication that there is something wrong is
the following the terminal output if okular was opened from a terminal:
usage: lpr [-cdfghlmnpqrstv] [-#num] [-1234 font] [-C class] [-i [numcols]]
[-J job] [-Pprinter] [-T title] [-U user] [-wnum] [name ...]
If okular was not opened from the terminal it just silently fails to print,
with absolutely no notification to the user that anything is amiss. This is
incredibly aggravating if the printer is somewhere far away.
It would be great if okular could display a notification to the user of these
printer failures. Okular should be able to figure out that the correct
dependencies are not installed, and notify the user that printing will not be
possible until they are. This would alleviate a lot of aggravation on the part
of the users who don't have the necessary packages installed.
Thanks so much.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a document in okular
2. attempt to print
3.
