Hi, I was working with the printer setup for my printer when I noticed that I had choose the wrong driver. When I had tried entering the setup through the control center and through roxterm by using the line"system-config-printer" it opens the program but closes right away without input. Any suggestions on a fix?

Other than this problem I am loving this version

Hi, Dave. I don't have a printer but you may have to clear the config for that app. Search for its folder in you home folder and delete it (sometimes it may be inside ~/.config instead).

Thanks for the suggestion but it did not seem to help.

Try purging the app, then re-installing

apt-get purge system-config-printer
apt-get install system-config-printer

Okay have got to trying this, did the exact commands written and still just opens and closes immediately

If it helps here is the output when running it through the terminal

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/system-config-printer:181: GtkWarning: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
  self.xml = gtk.glade.XML(xml, domain = domain)
/usr/bin/system-config-printer:262: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
  self.tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()
/usr/bin/system-config-printer:263: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
  self.tooltips.enable()

Try using the cups interface through a browser.

Add/edit the printer and just select the driver you want.
