[SOLVED]Printer stopped working after I installed Skype

My Canon printer on local network stopped working after I installed Skype.

error_log says

createProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files

Once I uninstall Skype, the printer starts working again.

When I pacman -Rs skype, pacman says it's going to delete these packages.

                lib32-alsa-lib-1.1.3-1  lib32-flac-1.3.2-1
                lib32-fontconfig-2.12.1-4  lib32-lcms2-2.8-1
                lib32-libasyncns-0.8+3+g68cd5af-1
                lib32-libice-1.0.9-1  lib32-libjpeg-turbo-1.5.1-1
                lib32-libmng-2.0.3-1  lib32-libogg-1.3.2-1
                lib32-libpulse-10.0-1  lib32-libsm-1.2.2-1
                lib32-libsndfile-1.0.28-1  lib32-libtiff-4.0.7-1
                lib32-libvorbis-1.3.5-1  lib32-libxcursor-1.1.14-1
                lib32-libxi-1.7.7-2  lib32-libxrandr-1.5.1-1
                lib32-libxrender-0.9.10-1  lib32-libxss-1.2.2-2
                lib32-libxtst-1.2.3-1  lib32-libxv-1.0.11-1
                lib32-openssl-1.0-1.0.2.k-1  lib32-qt4-4.8.7-11
                lib32-sqlite-3.18.0-1  lib32-v4l-utils-1.12.3-1
                skype-4.3.0.37-10

So I deleted these packages one by one and the printer revived
as I deleted lib32-libjpeg-turbo.

Somebody help me how to make the printer work keeping skype installed.

I'm sorry for my poor English.

Use the more modern skypeforlinux instead of the old and outdated and soon to stop working skype binary.

Re: [SOLVED]Printer stopped working after I installed Skype

Yes. You're right. I have to join a meeting via skype video chat. I have misunderstood video chat is not available with skype for linux. It seems GROUP video chat is not working.

I'm going to unistall skype and install skype for linux beta.

Thank you.
