CUPS system-config-printer Maintenance starts only with 1) "print test page" button.

Asked by jorma.olavi

Sounds similar like question 96889, but this is working one step further ?

system-config-printer , --> Maintenance ( bottom part of opening window under each printer)
This is same for all printers which I'm using = different printer doesn't matter !
------------------
All works after following step 1) :

Maintenance starts only with 1) "print test page" button.
If I try to start with 2) "Print self test page" or 3) "Clear print heads", no response.
If I start with "Print test page" button, after that options 2) and 3) are working.
-----------------
This has been with Ubuntu and MInt, probably first time it was 2010, but I thought that updates will handle it.
Biggest nuisance is that it takes some time to print out big "Test page", if I need only print ".. self test page" or first to clean printer heads. Is there any settings ?
What information I should include for more detailled examination ?
Best regards, jorma

Mint is based on Ubuntu, so trying Mint doesn't really change enough for it to be 'different'

You also completely forgot to say which printer you have which is probably the MOST important piece of information you can give...
