Dropping files on desktop printer icon doesn't work
Last modified: 2007-07-12 10:16:46 UTC
Not wanting to go into OOo again (slow computer), I figured I'd drag'n'drop the ODT file I had created earlier onto the printer icon. At first the Kprinter dialog came up and then when I clicked to print, I rec'd this error message: "Nothing to print" and no choice but to exit it. Same happens with dropping a PDF file (created in OOo) on the icon. Printing works fine directly from OOo and kpdf (inside Konqueror), btw. I did it again but this time clicked on Options thinking I had a setting messed up. It looks like because I have spaces in the filename that kprint interprets that as meaning multiple files (each word in name becomes a file), none of which exist.
that works fine for me.. I downloaded the test pdf (http://www.fh-rosenheim.de/upload/102/Test.pdf) to my desktop and drag&dropped it on the printer icon. printed just fine. does it work if you call "kprinter <file>" from a commandline?
ah, it happens if the file name contains a space
submitted. might be too late for 10.0, but then we'll put it on queue for an online update.
Awesome! Thanks.
