Title: preview error (solved)
Post by: websterridge on November 20, 2016, 06:05:21 AM

Inkscape .91/Debian Jessie(8.0)

I am getting 'Error launching preview' when I choose print preview from the print dialog.

My research is not bringing up anything useful (almost nothing non-useful either) so I assume there is a setup error.

Where do I need to set up what?

Yes it does  :-D

Now I need to figure out why I couldn't find that.  Debian and Inkscape are both popular enough so that there should have been more louder complaints...

AND

Whether it is a reportable difficulty.

AND IF YES

Who to report it to...

These would be my guesses:

- used a different search engine, maybe? I used google, keywords "error launching preview inkscape". Among all the unrelated stuff (OS X, mainly), there was just this single useful mention I could find.
- yes (?)
- KDE, probably, if it happens both on Kubuntu and Debian with KDE desktop.

Glad it works for you now :D Happy printing!
