Description Peter 2019-08-28 12:40:25 UTC
Description:
crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/3675c59a-29e6-409d-a816-95966355fcc6

It seems to be a problem of printer properties dialogue window (network printer Minolta C220) and windows 10. At least even opening printer properties from inside Windows Control Panel also doesn't work.

Anyway, LibreOffice shouldn't be impressed that much by that fawlty printer properties dialogue window.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open menu "Datei", "Drucken..." (probably "File", "Print..." in english
2. Window "Drucken" (probably "Print" appears, on the left is a preview, on the right at the top there is a list of printers. Choose "\\....local\MINOLTA C220..."
3. Under the list of printers, press button "Eigenschaften..." (probably "properties")

[Btw.: Under Windows, one can also
1. open "Einstellungen", "Drucker & Scanner" (probably "Preferences", "Printers & Scanners")
2. Choose "MINOLTA C220", press button "Verwalten" (probably "Manage")
3. Choose "Druckereigenschaften" (probably "printer properties")
4. Under tab "Allgemein" (probably "General") choose button "Einstellungen..." (probably "Preferences")
5. The Manage-window silently closes, no preferences-windows appears]

Actual Results:
Upon pressing the button "Eigenschaften..." as described under "Steps to Reproduce", LibreOffice crashes.

Expected Results:
There should be an error message like e.g. "Sorry, but the printer properties dialogue yielded unexpected results. We tried hard, but it seems not possible to use printer properties."


Reproducible: Always

I just noticed this part of initial comment:
"At least even opening printer properties from inside Windows Control Panel also doesn't work".
So without talking about LO, you can't see printer properties on Windows.

Could you try to uninstall then reinstall driver by using last version from here:
https://www.konicaminolta.eu/eu-en/support/download-centre ?
Indeed, it must work at least on Windows, if not it's not worth trying on LO.

> So without talking about LO, you can't see printer properties on Windows.

It depends. There are some apps. that can open it: Outlook, MS Word and AtmelStudio (based on MS VisualStudio) are able to open it, my colleague uses Adobe Reader successfully. Other programs don't (e.g. Notepad++, SumatraPDF, Control Panel). It seems, with the exceptions of Control Panel and Adobe, that Windows stuff are able, other stuff aren't.

I don't expect LO to give me a working printer requester if that is faulty. I just thought about a (fateful) dependency on the well behaving of third party software. After all, only thanks to the well working document recovery this issue isn't critical.

Regrettably, the printer driver is not under my responsibility. We are in contact with our IT department.

there are a number of issues with Windows, 10 printing, mostly caused by their updates. please write your exact Win10 version and build.

Comment 10 Julien Nabet 2020-05-04 13:27:32 UTC
Could you try this:
- check you got last updates of your Minolta printer driver
- upgrade to LO 6.4.3
- rename your LO profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Corrupted_user_profile)
?
