Correction: After clicking on the "Configure Printer" icon, which displayed the system default printer, the print icon began working. However the preview window is still blank.
Correction: After clicking on the "Configure Page" the preview window displayed the page, but the 'Print" button in that window did not send anything to the printer.
A small pop-up window appeared with the title "Printing", but I do not know what it says since it gets smeared with with whatever another window's contents are as you move it around.
Thereafter printing no longer works!
Disabled in https://github.com/DanWBR/dwsim3/commit/b6c0d4a8a26c7c8852433a53cc597eb1cbd04cce. It doesn't work on Linux.
Please reconsider the "Won't Fix" status. Printing does work in Linux for the first time DWSIM is started and a simulation is opened. I can scan a paper copy as evidence of it. It seems to print to the default (or configured printer) as long as the preview window does not display a preview image. If the preview window successfully displays a preview image then the print icon of that window does not work. Hope this helps you diagnose the problem. Please do not give up on this fixing this bug!
I am trying to print a copy of the simulation by some means. Your suggestion of saving an image (.png) is a viable one. But it needs additional steps of open the file using some image software then printing via that application/software.
A screen capture using OS tools sometimes can be unreadable if the diagram is complex, so would not like to rely on such a workaround.
It seems to stop after a simulation is closed and a subsequent one is opened? I need to confirm the latter statement.
I didn't know it worked at some time. I thought it worked only on Windows, because everything from the page configuration to the printing itself is handled by Mono and I never got it to work here. I'll re-enable it but don't have a way to fix any problem that might occur...
