Hi Norman,

I would love to work on 64 bit, but the code:

g = OpenPrinter()  with or without a printer setup

causes an instant crash, but only on Linux systems using the MATE 
desktop which I think is about the 4th most common. So if 3% of users 
use Linux and 15% of them use MATE, I don't think it will get much 
priority. I don't remember the exact phrase on the bug report page, but 
it was something that *I* interpretted to mean "has no prioroty yet".

They knew that the Feedback program crashed on MATE in early 2017. I 
reported the connection with OpenPrinter in early 2018. The Feedback 
program fixed itself, the printing still causes the crash. Another user 
on the Forum experiences the same crash, but without the printer code. 
He didn't know which code caused it.

Again, thanks for all of your help over the years,

Don
