I am NOT a Linux expert by any means. I have a rudimentary idea how to operate it only.
The problem is I'm running Linux Lite 3.8 Kernel 4.4.0-166
When I go t o a photo or document to PRINT it the option to print is not listed in any drop down menu.
If I go to FILE there is NO option to print
If I right click on the image there is NO option to print
The only way I can print is to right click and open GNU and print from its menu.
The PRINT option used to work as you'd expect it to,now it does not.
Please help. I will need step by step DETAILED instructions on how to correct this problem if it can be fixed.
Thank you for your time and help.
Assuming you're using Shotwell for image browsing.
Can you check if there is any printers installed?
Yes, my Brother laser printer and it will print if I use GNU.
I had to load a generic driver that the computer found on the internet as I could not get the Brother software to load properly. 'm sure it is me as I am ignorant on all the Linux commands and steps to install the software properly.
