I'm not sure how that CAN work . . It absolutely does NOT work. Replying to digests will only preserve threading if your mail client has an option such as Reply to Digest (e.g. Evolution can do this). Otherwise you break threading. Digests are an outdated concept anyway. They're a hangover from the days of UUCP and really have no reason to exist any more. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Re: CUPS - Some apps can't print - SOLVED
People, Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2018 12:45:38 +1100 From: Philip Rhoades Subject: CUPS - Some apps can't print To: Community support for Fedora users Message-ID: <17e85f6d8e3f29474f4402a7f0ad1...@pricom.com.au> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed People, I try and minimise printing and try and send electronic docs where possible but sometimes I am forced into producing paper copies. Because I use the printer so infrequently, I am not sure if this problem has started since upgrading from F25 to F26 (x86_64) or whether it was there even earlier (I usually update every version). CUPS printer info: Device URI: lpd://192.168.1.4/ Make and Model: Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script3 Trying to print from LibreOffice - no data is sent and the Printer State shows: Idle - Filter failed Printing the exported PDF with qpdfview works fine and the Printer State shows: Idle - Data file sent successfully. So for every doc I end up having to export to PDF from LibreOffice and print from qpdfview . . which is tedious when the thing should be able to be printed directly. I have spent hours trying all the options (I thought it might be because I have an imbedded PNG for a signature) and Googling but haven't found a solution. I have deleted the printer driver and reinstalled it a number of times . . I just found trying to print from Google Docs to the printer fails too . . Any suggestions about further debugging? To answer my own question - this fixed the problem: dnf update cups-filters systemctl restart cups P. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: p...@pricom.com.au ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
