Keypass is another one of those small victories for open file formats. There are many keypass compatible password managers and it makes moving from one to another reasonably quick and painless.

My new printer stopped working under #LinuxMint the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message.

Finally found the solution:

In the printer's "location" field, I had specified "Mein Büro" ("My office" in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😢

After removing the "ΓΌ", the printer worked.

Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. πŸ™‚
