 +===== Issues Printing from An Application =====
 +If you go to print and the printer selection window opens and keeps flashing, then there is something within either the document or the app that is not working with the Linux print system and we need to look into that. In the meantime, in order to print your document please click on "Menu" in the upper left hand corner of menu bar at the top of the Linux desktop and search for "LibreOffice". A side menu opens with several LibreOffice applications. Select the general "LibreOffice". After it launches, open your file and print from this application.
