Printer configuration

[toml2]

I installed Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon which worked beautifully but the printer settings are not accessible and cannot be changed, printer properties is not an option.

what type of printer?

[altair4]

If you go to Menu > Preferences > Printers you will open up the Printers module of the new gnome-contol-center. It doesn't do much because the Gnome3 developers haven't gotten that far in class yet.

If however you run the following command:

Code: Select all

system-config-printer

Then you will open up the old printer configuration utility written by the Gnome2 developers before they were all fired. That should get you to a Properties option.

There's a good chance that I have misunderstood your description of the problem in which case I have wasted a perfectly good rant for nothing

[toml2]

No you didn't waste a good rant, I feel the same, I ran into the same problem with the latest version of LMDE and, thankfully, I wrote the code down. It's a good workaround but not a solution. The" Mate" version of Mint 13 doesn't have this issue.
