[GNC] Printing

[Bruce Irving]

I've been using flatpacks since I switch to Linux full-time (a bit over a
year ago).
Unfortunately, it doesn't see my printer on my network.  It only offers lp
or file.  I select file, make sure I know where it is printing (not an easy
task!) and that it has a pdf extension.  Then I can open it from a document
viewer and print.

Also, Invoices went the same route but I never tried to print checks.

What OS are you using and what is the GnuCash version?
What are you trying to print?

Generally only reports can be printed out (and checks, invoices etc.). Under
the File menu item there is a Print Report (Ctrl-P) entry which will print
the report currently displayed in the  main window to the system printer.
AFAIK this is context sensitive and become Print Checks when an account
register is being displayed. I would think if an invoice is the open tab it
will change to Print Invoice but I do not use the business features so I
cannot check it out easily.

On Linux, in my case, this is a network shared printer accessible via CUPS.
If the printer is accessible through the OS, web browsers or other
applications, it should also be accessible from within GnuCash. If not it is
likely a CUPS configuration problem

An alternative is to export the report as HTML, then open it with a web
browser and print from the browser.
