What exactly doesn't work? 1. The print dialog doesn't even appear at all when you go to File > Print 2. The print diapog appears, but when you click on its "Print" button, nothing is sent to the printer (its job queue remains empty) 3. A job gets sent to the printer, but it never starts (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > What exactly doesn't work? > > 1.

A job gets sent to the printer, but it never starts For me, the second happens. For the time being, I patched the use of portal printing out of thunderbird and firefox esr. And actually I am not sure whether this is a kde portal issue or a mozilla issue. I did, however, collect the following from .xsession-errors (this is from firefox-esr on debian/bullseye and it looks identical for thunderbird): (firefox-esr:7056): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 23:32:51.400: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed file:///usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/components/Highlight.qml:34:5: QML Connections: Implicitly defined onFoo properties in Connections are deprecated.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! I think the information reported is complete; I am not sure whether this is a bug in Firefox/Thunderbird with not using portal printing the way it should be used. I have the same problem. With `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 firefox`, KDE dialogs show up fine but printing fails with: > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: Print called with parameters: > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: handle: "/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop/request/1_125/t" > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: app_id: "" > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: parent_window: "" > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: title: "Print" > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: fd: 18 > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: options: QMap() > xdg-desktop-portal-kde[1583]: xdp-kde-print: Failed to print: no QPrinter what can be used for printing With `GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 firefox`, printing works.

So thanks for your +1 |
