After Ubuntu upgrade I can't print

Post by mikca »

I have only one program, Quickbooks, running under Wine.
Recently upgraded to:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble

With: wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)
I have both a CUPS PDF and CUPS paper printer

Since upgrade when ever I try to print from QuickBooks I get error message

"Intuit Printer Lib...
Could not print to print to printer.
Check your printer selection.
Printing may have been canceled from another program
"
What should I do/try next?

Thanks in advance
Mick

Hi Mikca,
I have exactly the same problem.

I have used Quickbooks under Wine for several years.
Since I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04, I am unable to print anything from Wine, paper or pdf.
I have even tried installing Playonlinux and tried Wine versions 9 RC 4, 9 and 8.6 to no avail.
With 8.6 I don't get the error pop up box you described, but it just fails to print.

I have narrowed down the difference,
unsuccessful prints have this"cupsdProcessIPPRequest: requesting-user-name nameWithoutLanguage 'cups-browsed'" successful prints have "cupsdProcessIPPRequest: requesting-user-name nameWithoutLanguage 'mick'

Appears to be asking for a user

My previous account went quiet but I was mikca
How can I log a bug?
Previous version of wine was wine64:amd64 6.0.3~repack-1 9.0~repack-4build3
Current version of wine is wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)

1) Now I can't print from Quickbooks. Error Message is: "Cannot print to printer. Check your printer selection. Printing may have been canceled from another program"

2) I can print from Notepad++ installed under wine
3) I cannot print from wine supplied program "wordpad.exe" as it just generates an empty pdf file.
