Invalid wkhtmltopdf version

atuld@fedora:~/Desktop/AtulyaWorld/aw-management$ wkhtmltopdf --version
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6

I guess it needs, with patched QT version

They have added information about patched QT thing.

Reduced Functionality:
  This version of wkhtmltopdf has been compiled against a version of QT without
  the wkhtmltopdf patches. Therefore some features are missing, if you need
  these features please use the static version.

This is the output from terminal.

I can help you install the correct version of wkhtmltopdf on Fedora to resolve the printing issues with Frappe. The error message indicates you’re using a version compiled without the necessary Qt patches, which is why you’re missing essential PDF generation features.

Here are the steps to install the patched version:

Method 1: Install the Static Binary (Recommended)

1. Download the static binary with Qt patches:

# For 64-bit systems
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6.1-2/wkhtmltox-0.12.6.1-2.almalinux9.x86_64.rpm

# Or for older systems, try:
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.centos8.x86_64.rpm

2. Remove the existing version:

sudo dnf remove wkhtmltopdf

3. Install the downloaded RPM:

sudo dnf install ./wkhtmltox-0.12.6.1-2.almalinux9.x86_64.rpm

Now it is working!
