Chromium print function not working

Hello,

I try to figure out why my print function in Chromium is not working. When I use CTRL-p to print, Chromium crashes and becomes unresponsive.

However, there is nothing relevant in the shell output:

[orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ chromium
[20014:20034:0224/102037:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(624)] Failed to get name owner. Got org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.chromium.Mtpd': no such name

Did anyone have the same problem?

Re: Chromium print function not working

Make sure the CUPS daemon is running; it's a known bug.

Re: Chromium print function not working

I can confirm above.

I know it's not an answer to your question, but firefox is unaffected.

Re: Chromium print function not working

Thanks guys.

So, Firefox does not rely on CUPS to print PDFs?

No idea, I do not own a printer, therefore no CUPS.

The only reason I use the print function is for "print to file" of cinema tickets purchased online.

As detailed above, if I try to do this in chrome it causes application freeze, but no problem at all with firefox.

(as explained previously, I have obviously not offered this as a "solution", merely a temporary alternative)

Re: Chromium print function not working

I know. I was just interested to know how or what Firefox uses to implement the "Print to file" feature. Apparently not CUPS as Chromium does.

Re: Chromium print function not working

I have just re-read my last post & realized that it sounds very ,very defensive.

I was only trying to clarify & no offense meant.

Re: Chromium print function not working

I filed a bug report in the Chromium tracker: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issu … ?id=178235

I am curious to know what the developers say on this CUPS dependency.

Re: Chromium print function not working

There are already bug reports about this issue upstream.

GTK+ bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686838
Chromium issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue … ?id=160574

Firefox handles printing through GTK+ as well, but calls gtk_enumerate_printers() in a separate thread (or something to that effect) and, therefore, doesn't freeze.

Re: Chromium print function not working

Thank you. That makes it clear. So it can indeed be considered a bug in Chromium.

Hopefully it will be fixed.

Regards

I wouldn't consider it a Chromium bug; the actual bug is in GTK+.

Firefox is just fortunate enough not to be affected by it in any significant way.
