Dale, Over the years I have used Red Hat, Scientific Linux and now Centos 7, i.e. basically all versions of RedHat. Printing never worked on any of them. I always get the pop up message described in the thread, i.e. "An error occurred while trying to print. Invalid print service." I long ago gave up even trying to print from jedit. I tried the suggestion in this thread of editing the properties file by hand and correcting the name of the printer and it didn't help. I just tried it again and, what the ? It worked! First time ever. How did you do that? It occurs to me I may have closed and reopened jedit recently. I normally have it open permanently. Does it only read the properties value when it starts up? Any way it is good news, printing works with jedit . Alex On 16/10/2019 01:25, Dale Anson wrote: Alex, what flavors? I've tested on Gentoo, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch, all print fine. I've been on Arch for a while now, and no problems printing at all. I've also tested on my wife's Windows 7 and 10 computers, again, printing works fine. Are you getting any error messages?

I tested by changing the value of print.lastUsedPrinter to a non-existent printer and was able to replicate the original error.

How about just not relying on the last used printer if it no longer exists in the JEdit print logic <g> ? Even if I use JEdit on a single OS JEdit should continue working correctly if I delete a printer at the OS level. Surely not doing so is a bug in JEdit. After all people do change printers on their computer systems. -- ----------------------------------------------- jEdit Users' List jEd...@li...<mailto:jEd...@li...> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jedit-users<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.sourceforge.net%2Flists%2Flistinfo%2Fjedit-users&data=02%7C01%7Ca.finch%40lancaster.ac.uk%7Ccbcef5db85ed459b894908d751cf70ad%7C9c9bcd11977a4e9ca9a0bc734090164a%7C1%7C0%7C637067823702057980&sdata=ReIyp9xRl4pZWrn14IlXCGl3pCv5za9LIVvQyDgRym8%3D&reserved=0> -- ----------------------------------------------- jEdit Users' List jEd...@li...<mailto:jEd...@li...> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jedit-users<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.sourceforge.net%2Flists%2Flistinfo%2Fjedit-users&data=02%7C01%7Ca.finch%40lancaster.ac.uk%7Ccbcef5db85ed459b894908d751cf70ad%7C9c9bcd11977a4e9ca9a0bc734090164a%7C1%7C0%7C637067823702057980&sdata=ReIyp9xRl4pZWrn14IlXCGl3pCv5za9LIVvQyDgRym8%3D&reserved=0> -- ----------------------------------------------- jEdit Users' List jEd...@li...<mailto:jEd...@li...> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jedit-users<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.sourceforge.net%2Flists%2Flistinfo%2Fjedit-users&data=02%7C01%7Ca.finch%40lancaster.ac.uk%7Ccbcef5db85ed459b894908d751cf70ad%7C9c9bcd11977a4e9ca9a0bc734090164a%7C1%7C0%7C637067823702067974&sdata=S6BLG4zkCzhp22B%2F31o7ULwxEtzDWnrKtguajCWlXWY%3D&reserved=0> |
