Error calling print command

by wayne-46 :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I've been using Knoda for about 2 years now but
recently I upgraded Mandriva to the latest version. Now
when I'm in Knoda, I can no longer print out any
report. I keep getting the following error: "Error
calling print command. Perhaps you have to add the full
path." However, when I do add the full path to the
printer, nothing changes. Same error message again.
Does anyone know how to get around this? It's not a
problem in Tables, Query, or Forms, only in Report mode
does this error happen.

Thanks,
Wayne

I'm using KDE. There is no topic from May 13. The
closest is May 14 and as far as I can tell, it does not
appear to be about my problem. I do have kghostscript
installed.

I can't even get to the "print to file" menu. The
"Error calling print command" comes up as soon as I
press the "print" button or choose print from the
"file" menu. Any sort of printing, in the report mode,
is not possible. Printing is operational in the other
modes (table, form, query) though.

when I changed from Mandriva (into which I had installed Gnome and KDE)
to Ubuntu (Gnome), I was not able to see the reports. I solved by
instaling Kghostview (a KDE component).....so I guess that the reports
we see within Knoda are in fact "kghostview"...If I understand well you
see these reports, but can't print them

As a remark, I never tried to print tables or forms, and was not aware
it was possible...

Yes, I'm able to see the reports on screen, just can't
print them. I could print them before I updated to
Mandriva 2009 Spring. I do have Kghostscript installed.

This is one reason why I chose Knoda over Kexi. Knoda
is farther along in the evolutionary stage, even though
it is no longer being developed.

It might be a KDE4 thing, assuming you're running KDE4 on Spring!

I don't think it's a KDE4 problem.
Look at the following message dated 2007:

http://www.nabble.com/Error-calling-print-command-td13211989.html

It describes the same problem. This was before KDE4.
Don't know if he found a solution or not.

I looked at it...it says that Configuratio>Options>Printer command is lpr

I'm using kprinter, but I just checked that lpr works fine also

Neither kprinter nor lpr works for me. I can't get past
the "Error calling print command."

Googling the error message shows
https://svn.pardus.org.tr/contrib/devel/desktop/kde/knoda/files/knoda-tr.patch 
which seems to be a code page of hk-classes......
