Bug#795929: libreoffice-writer: printing not available unless starting from terminal
Package: libreoffice-writer
Version: 1:4.3.3-2+deb8u1
Severity: normal
(also occurs with the latest)
when using a cups print configuration with /etc/cups/client.conf,
libreoffice-writer fails to open a dialog printing window unless
libreoffice-writer is started from a terminal
Does not work: start Libreoffice-writer from the Desktop menu, open a
document, and choose File/Print. The Loffice writer window grays and
offers no further input.
Printing works: start a terminal, and run Libreoffice-writer using
"lowriter", open a document, and choose "File/Print". A prompt in the
terminal shows up.
... continuing..
A password is prompted to the user (The printing service is password
protected). Typing the password correctly, a "secondary" password prompt
shows up again, and then a third prompt shows up graphically....
printing then works after
