I'm running Linux Mint 17 with fluxbox as my WM. If I boot the machine and log in to a fluxbox session, I can't print; the printer doesn't show up in print dialogs. If I log in to a cinnamon session, then log out and log in to a fluxbox session, printing works. Clearly cinnamon is performing some initialization that causes the printer to be recognized by the OS. How can I get this initialization to happen in fluxbox?
Can't print from fluxbox unless I first log in to a different WM
