In my previous computer (Ubuntu 20.04), every time cups found a network printer, the program would refuse to start. I was able to solve it in two ways: 1) disconnect from the network and manually remove the printers from the printer configuration, or 2) stop cups with the following commands: sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed; systemctl stop avahi-daemon, and then manually remove the printers from the printer configuration. This last method did always work, but it did most times.
Now I'm facing the same or a similar problem on Ubuntu 22.04, I haven't tested with network printers, but if I install my EPSON NX127 printer, the program will fail to start (even if the printer is not connected). But if I manually remove that printer from the printer configuration, the program runs without problems.
When it doesn't work, the error is:
Code: Select all
0024:fixme:nls:RtlGetThreadPreferredUILanguages 00000038, 0403F7D4, 0403F7E8 0403F7DC

0024:err:module:loader_init Initializing dlls for L"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GlobalMapper18\\global_mapper.exe" failed, status c0000005
Any clues to solve the problem?
Given that I don't need printing. Is there a way to tell wine to do not access the printers?
Thanks
