gnome apps can't print, everything else can
Hello!
I have developed a problem with my gnome printing system. I am using
cups with a samsung ml1520 + unstable amd64. The problem is that gnome
apps can no longer print for some reason. They generate a job on the
printer (according to cups) but this job is dispatched instantly
without being actually printed.
firefox, openoffice and kpdf can print. Evince cannot print and the
gnome print centre cannot print a test page, even though it sees the
printer.
Apps that use lpr seem to fail too, e.g. gv.
matthew@hyde:~$ lpr
lpr: Error - no default destination available.
matthew@hyde:~$ cat /etc/printcap
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file
# will be lost.

Could this be related to my gnome printing problem? Seems not since
these lpr apps do not generate a print job in the log, unlike the gnome
apps.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to what might have gone wrong?
cheers
matthew
