<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I can't find much information, but I
think that the original Print command, kprinter, was part of the
kdeprinter package, which is not installed and not in the repos.<br>
<br>
Despite what I first reported, lpr will work. The computer I was
on when visiting, a Dell Dimension 4300, may have an issue with
hot-plugging the USB printer/scanner. (For instance, though I
didn't get to test it properly, it seemed that scanning would only
work when the scanner was powered on during boot.)<br>
<br>
However, I'll make the case that commonly expected behavior is for
a Print dialog to appear, which of course doesn't happen with
lpr. Granted, there is a counter-argument for maximum lightness.<br>
<br>
And now that I'm back on my usual current Lubuntu desktop, I
notice that the context menu for a picture file also includes
Shotwell Viewer, and choosing this opens the file in a lighter
variant of the Shotwell interface. The Shotwell Viewer interface
includes File: Print, which opens a customary Print dialog.<br>
<br>
As I noted in my original post, I installed Shotwell after
realizing that there was no default photo management app, and
Shotwell seemed to be the commonest recommendation, though Andre
Rodovalho posted in this thread that he is using a non-repo
version of Fotoxx. He says there is an older version in the
repos.<br>
<br>
I realize I'm saying that in a couple ways, default Lubuntu is a
little too light for my taste (no photo manager, image viewer
doesn't print). But MtPaint printing should be fixed somehow in
any case.<br>

Following the Puppy Linux article, I installed gtklp and then
substituted that for kprinter.<br>
<br>
Using lpr instead of gtklp for the print command does not work.
At least to the casual observer, it yields the same no-response
as kprinter.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Seems like it's not a bug, per se. Intended
function upstream, it seems. What is the default print
command? Does `lpr` work? I often use this on the command line
to print PDFs, so it seems plausible. This may be something we
can fix in the default settings of MtPaint, if we explore all
of the possible options and hopefully find the one that uses
the least amount of resources. Since `lpr` is included in the
standard system, this would seem to make the most sense.</p>

family this weekend and looking at a couple problems, I
discovered that under the default installation of Lubuntu
14.04 there seems to be no provision for printing pictures.<br>
<br>
The image viewer has no Print option. And when I instead
opened a picture in mtPaint and then tried File: Action:
Print Image, nothing happened.<br>
<br>
I got mtPaint's File: Action: Print Image functionality
working by following the 'How to Print' section of this
Puppy Linux article: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
I also found that I could print using Firefox, but I would
have expected to be able to print a pic via the image viewer
or the paint program.<br>
<br>
It seems like more than a trivial omission to have no
default picture printing provision.<br>
<br>
[I had a similar realization recently regarding photo
management. I installed Shotwell to add that capability,
but it seemed like there should have been a native
provision.]<br>
<br>
How do you handle these things?<br>
