MuseScore 2 on Ubuntu Studio 14.04 option to print to printer AWOL.
I am experiencing a problem with the option to print to print to printer being missing. The only option is to "print" to a .pdf file. I am using MuseScore 2.0.1 and Ubuntu Studio 14.04. Printers connected to my system are available in all other programs.

Do you mean your "File" menu literally does not have "Print"? Should be second-to-last item on menu, after "Info" and before "Quit". Standard Ctrl+P shortcut should work as well.

No. There is an option to print in the "File" menu. However, the only print option is to create a .pdf file. No printer options are available. Same problem when using Ctrl+P.

Hmm, it works fine for me on Ubuntu 14.04 using xfce4, which I believe is the standard desktop environment for Ubuntu Studio as well. Do other Qt-based applications work for you? Can you post a screenshot of the print dialog in MuseScore?

I don't use any other Qt-based apps where I need to print. Otherwise, yes Qt-based apps work fine. I have included a screenshot.

Well, it's the same dialog I see at least, so are systems are similar in that way. But on mine, the dropdown menu shows me all the choices I expect. I take it for you it is "Print to File (PDF)" only? Anything unusual about your print setup? Mine actually *is* unusual, since I am running Ubuntu within a chroot under Chrome OS.
I'm grasping at straws here, but if you run from the command line - and might as well use a "-F" to revert to factory settings while you're at it - do you see anything that looks possible relevant on the console log?

OK, tried it. Still only .pdf print. The message that I got from the command line was:
init Help from:
cannot setup data for help engine: Cannot open collection file: /usr/share/mscore-2.0/manual/doc_en.qhc
Nothing about Cups or printer files :-(
Let me try a different tack here:
How did you install this? As far as I know there is no official 2.0.1 package yet. Did you try downloading a nightly build? Or did you build from sources? Did you install using "make install" using the default installation folder? I'm trying to see if somehow an installation problem is the issue here. Also, what does Help / About give as the revision, and Help / About Qt?

I used a normal sudo apt-get install musescore. I assume there is a MuseScore 2.0.1 build in the Ubuntu Studio repos.

As far as I can tell, it's still 2.0 in the "official" repo, at least the one I know about. Are you sure you have 2.0/1? What does Help / About say? Which PPA did you add?
Not that 2.0 shouldn't work, but I'm still trying to understand what is different / unique about your system that makes things not work for you that do appear to work for others.

The only thing that is different with my system, that I can see is that I pull in the KXstudio repo.
