Print problem on linux

Targets Linux
1

If i call the “OpenPrint” instead the “OpenPrintDialog” method on Linux, Xojo call the window of the Printer.

How can I fix this problem?

I must print a file without opening the dialog.

I’m on Linux Mint 17.

Thanks to all.

You mean OpenPrinter() and OpenPrinterDialog() , right ?

Yes, if you use OpenPrinter() opens the printer as in OpenPrinterDialog() !

Xojo version? Can you make a simple demo, proofing the problem, to share and people try to figure out?

I just tried. It appears Linux Mint does indeed require the user to select the printer each time one needs to print.

I have set a default printer, but still OpenPrinter triggers the dialog.

The only way I see to print silently is to prepare a graphic file, and print it through a shell to lpr, which I verified to work when a default printer has been selected :

In terms of code, it is not quite different from Xojo regular printing ; only a Picture.Graphics is used instead of the printer g object.
