Thanks Chris. That could indeed be useful. One should always
remember, though, that with a ppa one is reliant on the integrity of
the packager to build what you are expecting. There is nothing to
stop someone modifying the code for nefarious purposes and building it
into a ppa. Looking at the packagers profile, however, there does not
seem to be anything that would lead one to worry about his/her
integrity.

I also tried running GnuCash using this command
flatpak run --device=all org.gnucash.GnuCash
But I still don't get any printers!
perhaps I misunderstood the notes at
http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/search.html?q=device&check_keywords=yes&area=default

Hi David,
thanks for the explanation. I have set-up the ppa, and all works fine now.
Which ppa is that? I didn't know there is a gnucash ppa.
Colin
Here is the ppa I used
ppa:sicklylife/gnucash
regards, Chris

Chris,
You possibly have installed the flatpak version of GnuCash in which case it
is possibly settings in the flathub support which restrict GnuCash from
accessing the printer. Flatpak is a sandbox which isolates the application
from the OS. One of the developers has been working on getting a flatpak
version downloadable from the GnuCash website but I don't know what the
status is.
This reference from an earlier thread
http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions-reference.html
may be of some assistance.
The original thread dealt with access to mysql
http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-Gnucash-Flatpak-3-2-Mysql-issue-tt4703430.html.
There may be some info in some of the other posts in the thread.
I installed the flatpack GnuCash when I first moved to LM19, had problems
and quicklywent back to building my own from sources. There is also a
repository which has a build of the latest release of GnuCash (3.4) at
https://launchpad.net/~sicklylife/+archive/ubuntu/gnucash. It is not
officially part of the GnuCash team but works. After installing the ppa with
the instructions shown there just use
sudo apt install gnucash
in a terminal.
