[digiKam-users] matter in switching printer and print from AppImage

[Nicolas Boulesteix]

Thanks for your answer.

So, is there a way to avoid getting pdf printer as digikam default printer
each time I open "print image" and have my system default printer instead ?
Previously (before dk 5.9 with not appimage version) I have some matter to
set correctly my printer if not the default one, but setting this printer
to default permit to print. Here no.

Is there some debug operation I could post here to help seeing what's wrong
perhaps in my system ?

Any package I could install or check that could missing...

Thanks in advance

Nicolas
