Printers do not appear in QCAD unless you modify the default cups to create a /etc/printcap file

https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=3247

Is a work around

This is the only application on the platform this has to be done for.

I am guessing it affects any Linux with the printcap not set.

Closure comment

This is a known problem with the Qt tool kit which cannot be fixed on our end.
