FC29, Cinnamon desktop, fully updated. The printer is an Epson ET-4500,
connected through WiFi. The Administration->Print Settings dialog detects
the printer. Printing a test page works like a charm. But it seems like
nothing else included with the system can print. xreader and xed for
example, try to print then a little bubble in the corner of the desktop
tells me that printing was cancelled. System log...

However, LibreOffice Writer (which, I understand, does its own printer
magic) has no trouble printing.
I googled around and found some similar issues, all many years old. Those
solutions did not help me. I tried getting the print driver directly from
Epson. That also didn't help. At this point, I don't really know how to
proceed with troubleshooting.
