Re: Illegible toolbar icons in LibreOffice after upgrade to Mint 21.2

Ok, I just found I could fix it by changing the icon theme inside LibreOffice through Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> View -> Icon Style.

[solved] Illegible toolbar icons in LibreOffice after upgrade to Mint 21.2

Dear all, I just upgraded to Linux Mint 21.2, and ran into an issue with the theme updates. The toolbars in LibreOffice are now more or less illegible, with the icons becoming pale grey on a light grey background. This is especially bad in the Mint-Y theme. Switching to Mint-X makes them somewhat mo...

Caching Flatpak packages

Hi everyone, Is there a way to cache flatpak packages through a proxy on the LAN (or something similar), in order to reduce the number of times each package needs to be downloaded for a local network? I am using apt-cacher-ng for deb packages, and it has saved us hours of download time and saved on ...

Re: how to add a Canon wireless printer in LM20

I had difficulties getting the Canon CAPT driver to work on LM19 and LM20.
In case you have the same, I got it to work on LM20 for the Canon i-SENSYS LBP7210Cdn recently. See the end of this thread:

Re: Unable to send data to printer. - Canon LBP1120 LM19.2

I got the Canon i-SENSYS LBP7210Cdn to work on Linux Mint 20.
In case the procedure is similar for the LBP1120, you might want to have a look at the end of this thread:

The above routine was for installation as a network printer. Adjust if you are connecting directly with a USB cable.

Re: [SOLVED] Canon LBP 2900 works on Ubuntu 18.04, but don't on Mint 19

Dear gatons, your solution works on LM 20 as well, at least for the Canon i-SENSYS LPB7210Cdn. It was crucial to read your instructions on GitHub though, so as to make sure the content of the newly created /etc/rc.local was complete, and to set the file as executable. The complete installation routi...

Re: Unable to send data to printer. - Canon LBP1120 LM19.2

Yes, what about LM 20?
I am having problems with a Canon LBP7210C, which works well in LM 18, but which I haven't been able to get to work neither in LM 19 or 20 so far...
I suspect that the core issue us the same for all these Canon laser printers. Would be great if we could find a solution...

Re: Canon LBP 2900 works on Ubuntu 18.04, but don't on Mint 19

Hi gatons,

Have you come any further on this issue? Sounds very much like the same problem as what I have with our Canon LBP7210 (LBP7210Cdn to be more exact), which works from Mint 18.3 but not from Mint 19.
