Description bsevennine 2026-01-30 06:41:15 UTC 
Description:
After clicking on the Open Document Spreadsheet, the screen goes blank. After a few seconds it displays a message: "Waiting for printer connection...", and in the middle of the message box it says "Please wait for printer connection or cancel connection". So I always click on the only button available, the "Cancel" button... Then the problem goes away and I access my document w/o problems. I only see the problem when I open a doc.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just click on a document to open it.
2. After a few seconds the Printer or Error Message will display.
3. Cancel it and continue.

Actual Results:
Same

Expected Results:
Same


Reproducible: Always
