Can't print from Ubuntu to LMDE
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2018 1:21 pm
Struggling to get my printer working since I made a system swap.
The printer was connected to a ZorinOS (Ubuntu) system via USB.
Another ZorinOS system and my LMDE system were printing on that printer without any problem.
Due to a system change (1 ZorinOS will go) I connected the printer via USB to my LMDE system and it worked just like that.
Now I'm trying to connect the ZorinOS systems to the printer but I can't get it to work.
On both systems the printer shows up as a network printer and are installed, however trying to see the printer properties freeze the printer application.
Trying to print something from the Zorin systems won't work, from my LMDE system no problems at all.
So I'm stuck, Samba does see my system but not the printer.
Right click the printer in LMDE I do see shared and enabled but when I look into the printer properties the tick box shared is empty, when you tick the box and try to save it empty itself again.
I'm struggling for hours already and can't find what's going on so I need your help desperatly.
