#286 No print system found

[Axel Braun]

Freemind 0.8.0 on a SuSE 10.0, java full version
"1.5.0_07-b03".
When trying to print, the message 'no print service
found' appears. Actually, Cups 1.2.0 is running.
Maybe in a similar context: Under extras -> Settings,
no dialog appears. Under Windows it does.

Hi,

Two questions:
- where do you find the extras->Settings dialog? In
FreeMind? (can't find it there!?)
- did you check:
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FreeMind_on_Linux#Why_do_I_get_a_.22No_print_service_found.22_whenever_I_attempt_to_print.3F
?

Cheers, Eric

First question. It is not the print dialog, it is the
settings dialog (STRG-COMMA) that does not show up
Second question: Yes, I checked it, but I dont have printers
with '-' in it:

Hi,

three more thoughts:
1. if you have the Gtk look&feel, I would suggest to change
it (see
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FreeMind_on_Linux#FreeMind_seems_broken_and_I_have_the_Gtk_Look.26Feel\)
2. if this doesn't help, could you copy&paste the output of
"DEBUG=1 freemind" (also trying to start the settings dialog
& trying to print).
3. do you also have print problems e.g. with jedit (from
http://jedit.sf.net\)?

Hi Eric,

I had all the default settings, changed them to 'metal',
but this did not help.
I dont have jedit installed, but in general printing is fine

Hi,

concerning the "settings" issue, the resolution is quite
easy: my program is expecting jgoodies-forms version 1.0.5
(from jpackage.org) and you have jgoodies-forms 1.0.7.

3 ways to resolve the issue:
1. install the correct version of jgoodies-forms (works 100%)
2. edit /usr/bin/freemind and change
'/usr/share/java/forms-1.0.5.jar' into
'/usr/share/java/forms-1.0.7.jar' (should work)
3. ln -s forms-1.0.7.jar /usr/share/java/forms-1.0.5.jar
(should work).

Concerning the print problem, the underlying question for
jedit was if printing is working for Java programs, or if
it's a FreeMind issue. Did you try to print as part of the
debug output?

Cheers, Eric

Eric,
thanks, the first problem is solved with a symbolic link.
Re printing, this seems to be a general java-issue. I tried
to print from another program (polarbar mailer), and it did
not work either. Any hints to to solve this?

Hi,

2 solutions:
1. have you installed cupsys-bsd, it might solve your issue!?
2. Google! (short search didn't show a solution, beside the
fact that you're not alone; e.g.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=385275\)

Cups-Client is installed, and google did not help so far.
But right, it seems to be a common problem.

Hi,

one more thought: do you get the same issue with jedit?

Hi Eric,

this problem was already reported some times in conjunction with Java and cups. SuSE refuses to to fix (they
are not supporting cups 1.2.0 for SuSE 10.0, and under 10.1 it runs), tried some Java-forums, but no change
or idea for a solution.
So, I'm somewhat stuck between a stone and a hard place. No time to try a newer cups version at the moment

Hi Axel,

I hope you then understand that I close the bug as there is
not much we can do for you beside sympathizing (and I do ;-) ).

Sorry, Eric
