Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: “No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again”

hi :)
There is a way of installing multiple versions of LibreOffice
alongside each other "in parallel"
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

It's not quite straight-forwards but hopefully the wiki-guide there
makes it easier.  The main thing to avoid is having 2 versions open at
the same time as each other.  That kinda means closing the
"Quickstarter" (which i always avoid anyway (except on Windows))

Pinpointing exactly which version first had the regression sounds like
it might help the devs quite a bit!
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
