If the problem persists, then clearly the problem was not fully addressed, which is the situation here. I was experiencing a failure to print from okular. I did due diligence in searching for an existing bug that addressed the issue, rather than blindly filing a new report. I found the bug that I referenced, and since the closing of that report didn't describe how the problem was fixed I reopened it as not fixed. I think that was all completely justified. > Also, when you send a message to control your mail is not shown in the bug, > you need to cc the bug for that. I tried cc'ing the bug, but the message was bounced because the bug had been archived. > okular uses the lpr from cups, if you have a different lpr it needs to accept > the same parameters. You could try: > apt install cups-bsd lpr- lprng- gnuspool- This might be a fix, but I don't think it's actually a suitable solution to the overall problem. Without cups-bsd installed, okular just silently fails to print. There is no notification to the user other than a cryptic message to the terminal that would only ever be seen if you were to launch okular from the terminal (which certainly most people don't do). It seems like a better solution could be devised. Thanks for the help. jamie.
