What is the full path of the file you are trying to save? Do you have write permission in the folder, and is there any existing file with the same name?

Can you open a terminal and check the permissions? The first will list the contents of Desktop and the second will list the permissions on the directory itself:

whoami
ls -l /home/samlabs821/Desktop/
ls -ld /home/samlabs821/Desktop/

Also check /home/samlabs821 because the permissions are inherited from the parent.

ls: cannot access /home/samlabs821/Desktop/: No such file or directory

If you have it (the name of your Desktop folder) in Russian the way to it must be:

/home/samalabs821/Рабочий стол

What's the output of:

ls /home/samalabs821/Рабочий\ стол

Can you cd to that folder?
Does

ls /home/samalabs821

show a "Рабочий стол" directory?

yes it show but i removed this directory and created Desktop directory instead...

i noticed that print button is also disabled in gedit... it means the problem in gedit??

But when i run gedit with sudo there is no problem...

[AlexDudko]

Desktop stands for Russian "Рабочий стол", this is due to Russian system language, which made all automatically created folders in user's home directory be in Russian.

Didn't you create the Desktop folder in sudo mode?
Try to

sudo chown samalabs821:samalabs821 /home/samalabs821/Desktop

What is the output from ls -l /home/samlabs821 ? Did you create Desktop or desktop?
