Strangely, this one runs perfectly and does access my HP laserjet printer. Out of curiosity, I downloaded the tar.gz extraction file for version 1.5.4. It would run manually on my system, but would not access my printer. I downloaded the tar.gz manual extraction file for version 1.5. Discover then complained that it could not update to a certain Java file - this even though Java runs all my other Java apps. The deb install file for version 1.5.4 acted like it installed it, but then it would not run. A workaround is it can save it as a PDF, then I can print it up with Okular. The Flatpak version 1.5.4 installed and runs perfectly, but cannot access my HP laserjet printer. It's strange, but the problem is solved, and I don't even understand why. At first, regular Dolphin could access external media, but Flatpak Dolphin could not. Long story, but I have both the regular install of Dolphin and a Flatpak-installed Dolphin on this system. I did run into an issue at one point where Flatpak-installed apps could not access any external media that I plugged in such as thumb drives. I believe Tuxguitar does require Java, but I had no trouble installing the OpenSource version of Java when I set up my machine, and other Java-based apps run just fine. I did not find a Snap install, a Debian package, an Appimage, or a PPA for it. It has made me wonder if the problem is because it's a Flatpak install. The Laserjet P1005 is unavailable in either case. It makes no difference whether the piece of music is in the *.gp3 or the *.gp4 format. I've been frustrated that it won't directly print up a piece of music. When I do that in Tuxguitar, it offers me "print to file" and "LPR" (whatever that is). In most apps, like LibreOffice Writer, I hit the print command and it offers me my own and only printer, the HP Laserjet P1005. It all works great, except that I cannot print from it for some reason. I did not find an install available for it in the regular repository, so I installed it via Flatpak. Tuxguitar is a superb open source app that lets you write and print sheet music and guitar tabs.
