Anyone ever printed RECTANGLES under GNOME?

[Adam Warner <lists@consulting.net.nz>]

Hi all,

Here's a print preview of the problem:

This is Debian unstable on x86 running GNOME.  Evolution, gedit, etc.
are all printing rectanges. My searching doesn't turn up a solution.

At this stage I'm printing text using StarOffice 5.2 since at least that
works. I can also print postscript fine from the command line. It seems
to be a GNOME print problem.

I've tried selecting different fonts under HTML Viewer in Control Panel.

I remember having the problem ages ago and it went away. Since I went
back to an older revision of my OS and again upgraded to the latest
packages its back again. Maybe I'm missing a necessary package.

What I have installed that may be relevant:
