Package: libreoffice-gnome Version: 1:5.2.2~rc2-2 Severity: normal Because of bug#795929 (upstream #53029), libreoffice can't print to password-protected printers.
The suggested workaround is to "Enable experimental features" (Tools-Options-LibreOffice-Advanced) and deactivate LibreOffice Print Dialog Boxes (-LibreOffice-General), so that the native print dialog is used. But this workaround fails, at least on Gnome 3.22. The Gnome/GTK print dialog box is used, but when I click on "Print", it crashes LibreOffice. LibreOffice immediately recovers via "Document Recovery" but never completes the print job. Error messages are sent to stderr when the crash happens, indicating a problem with pointers: (soffice:14402): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new_valist: invalid unclassed object pointer for value type 'GtkPrinter' (soffice:14402): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_printer_get_backend: assertion 'GTK_IS_PRINTER (printer)' failed (soffice:14402): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed The problem seems to happen with any document. It sounds like this is an upstream bug (and I note that using native print dialogs is considered an "experimental feature"). But since the bug is tied up with the Gnome or GTK libraries, I think it's worth checking if others can reproduce the problem before we report it upstream. A workaround for the workaround is to print to PDF. evince is able to print the pdf file with no problem. I'll leave a note on upstream #53029.
