Learn something new all the time watching these emails. :)

Im on Kubuntu 22.04 with the latest updated firefox on my computer
with my laptop next to me and Im finishing setting up laptops for a
business so I checked - all mine show what Ian posted and all print
and have dialog boxes to change the printer.

Could it be Josef Wolf not being up to date?
