pyILPER 1.8.9

[Dave Frederickson]

It seems that I can no longer select text from a Printer window using either the mouse or cursor keys for copying and pasting.

ILPer still works as expected.

Unfortunately I could not reproduce this issue on Windows 10 with pyILPER 1.8.9 and the Python/QT Versions (3.12.7/6.6.1) and (3.12.7/6.8.1). Please tell me which OS/Python/Qt version you are using. The Python and Qt versions are displayed in the Help/About window. Did you install with Miniconda (not recommended any more) or PyPI?

Python 3.11.9 and Qt 6.7.3 installed with PyPI on Win10.

Installed exactly the same software version. Did the following:

• Removed Python 3.12
• Installed Python 3.11.7 from the Microsoft Store
• opened a command window and entered the following commands:
  

Code:


c:
cd \users\achim
python -m venv test
test\scripts\activate --> command prompt changes to (test) c:\Users\achim
python -m pip install --upgrade pip (recommended step)
python -m pip install Pyside6==6.7.3 (force installation of exactly this Qt version)
python -m pip install pyilper
pyilper

Started EMU71:

Code:


RUN PILTERM
PLIST <some textfile> to generic!!! printer (neither HP2225 nor HP82162A!!)

On pyILPER
Select some lines of text in generic!! printer window, right mouse context menu -> Copy

Could paste selected text into MS Word.

I recommend installing pyILPER in a new virtual environment as a test.
