Print crossword puzzle -

This is a new install, updated, Fedora-26 using XFCE, however I believe the problem began with Fedora-24. I print several puzzles every day usin Firefox, puzzles presented in pdf print without any trouble, however those that require Flash stop working when the Fedora print window pops up, it looks normal but does not display/recognize my printer, the printer name is missing/blank. I am forced to use SeaMonkey to print the flash sites such as: http://puzzles.usatoday.com/ Using Firefox the line that says "Print to Printer:" simply shows "No Printer." SeaMonkey shows the printer and prints. It seems Firefox should do the same and it used to ... I've googled this extensively but never come near finding an answer. I would prefer not having to use a second browser to print puzzles. Can anyone offer an explanation, better yet a fix? *Bob* -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-26/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

I give up, no change to bring VMware Workstation running after F25->F26 upgrade ...

tried VMware Wkst. 12.5.6, also 12.5.7 ... no change ... even the hack to get the additional virtual network interfaces, nothing helped ... maybe the next release of VMware Wkst. 12.5.8 will run ... as VMware Wkst. is essential for me, there is no way having Linux instead of Windows; the decision to try it with Fedora is the feature of inplace upgrade and keep it up-to-date ... I'll keep my old windows running as log as the hardware is working ...

Not sure which FM I need to be reading: auto media mount trouble
by John Morris 31 Jul '17

I have managed to hose something in my account. In Fedora 24 about 2/3 of the time when I login the only item in Computer was "File System" and inserted media (CD/USB) neither mounts or appears. The other 1/3 of the time it worked. Not good. But the clock is ticking on F24 now so I updated to Fedora 25 and it got worse. I get entries for every mount point, tmp, sys, everything plus I get desktop icons for them all too. This is on Mate if you are wondering why I have icons on the desktop. But at least it is now consistent, it happens every time. Made a fresh account and logged into it and everything works normally. Tried a couple of times and it appears reliable. So whatever is wrong it is just in my account but I can't figure out what got corrupted. Google is little help, all the automagic plumbing has been rewritten so many times most hits are to pages discussing obviously wrong things. While logged out I have tried removing .gvfs, anything suspicious in ~/.config ~/.local, like gvfs-metadata, systemd/user, .ccache, .dbus, Even looked in /var/tmp for leftover cruft. So what file does control the current automagic stuff? Upside is I have finally seen accelerated 3d/video decode in a VM without a Kaboom so as usual, upgrading brings new shiny.
