To reproduce the bug: 1. Open System Settings > Printers > Configure 2. Make changes for printer (Canon MP280 in my case) 3. Click "Apply" or "OK" 4. Open System Settings > Printers > Configure one more time to make sure settings have not been applied Printer settings are not saved at least in KDE Neon Plasma 5.13, Kubuntu with KDE 5.12.5, Manjaro KDE 5.13
To be more specific "System Settings > Printers > Configure > Printer options"
This is a duplicate of another bug, that I could not reproduce, not I can reproduce now, so if you would like this fixed I'll need you to do some better investigation. Does changing it via http://localhost:631 works? Do you have another printer that this also fails?
Daniel Nicoletti> Yes, default settings are applied after setting them in http://localhost:631 (thanks for that tip) and they stay changed if i open "System Settings > Printers > Configure > Printer options", but changing anything directly from there does nothing as i already described. This exactly problem occurs for my colleague i can't say which exactly model he has got but it is HP 3-in-1.
I want to second it. I have almost the same issue: SUMMARY On Kubuntu 18.04.1 with Plasma 5.12.7 I can not save printer options properly. I have used the same printer with the same driver with Ubuntu 18.04 without any issues. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open 'Printers--System Settings Module' 2. In 'Configure your printer' section, select 'Add printer' 3. Choose 'Manual URI' 4. In 'connections' type 'socket://IP' where IP is the ip address for the printer and then click on 'Next'. 5. Select 'Manually provide a PPD file' and then 'Next'. 6. Give the printer a name ... Note: the driver is KONIKA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS(P) After the printer is appeared in the list of Printers: 7. Set it as 'default' and click on 'Configure' 8. In 'Printer Options'change some settings 9. Apply -> OK 10. Open the Printer settings again and you see that the settings have not been saved. OBSERVED RESULT When opening a PDF file with evince to print, I think most of the options are available. The printer will print normally except that I do not see the staple option in evince (in the advanced tab) and so the printer does not apply staple. In Okular I do not see any staple option and presumably it should use the default settings (which are not saved in this case). An observation in the first try: Only in the first try to add staple option, I observed that evince has the option 'staple' available but together with a yellow color (kind of warning, don't remember exactly). EXPECTED RESULT Printer settings are not saved. In particular, staple options do not apply. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 18.04.1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0 Qt Version: 5.9.5
I would like to second this bug. I am using KDE Neon 5.14 (Plasma 5.14.4, Framework 5.2, Qt 5.11.2, kernel 4.15.0-38), based on Ubuntu 18.04, and the behaviour I am experiencing is exactly as described in the bug report. My printer is a Dell 2330dn and I am using the drivers downloaded from Dell's website. What extra information can I provide to help debugging this?
I think - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407672 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409741 Are clone of this bug. Also, this is still happening on my machine (Solus KDE), but it's not happening on my girlfriend's machine running KDE Neon. Different printer too, though.
We believe these issues to be solved in later Plasma5 and Plasma6 just released. Please try again if you can and report back. Thx
