Hi Rob and co.,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=293397
seems to be affecting all GNOME applications.
Here's a test case for gedit:
[File -> Print]
Select "Generic Postscript" as your printer and choose Custom as your
Location. It doesn't matter if you change the string "lpr" or not.
[Print]
Nothing is printed, but here's the STDERR output:
=====
** (gedit:16936): WARNING **: Opening 'lpr' for output failed
(gedit:16936): GnomePrint-CRITICAL **: file gnome-print-ps2.c: line 260
(gnome_print_ps2_construct): assertion `ret == GNOME_PRINT_OK' failed
(gedit:16936): GnomePrint-WARNING **: file gnome-print.c: line 132:
Destroying Context with open transport
(gedit:16936): GnomePrint-CRITICAL **: file gnome-print-job.c: line 555
(gnome_print_job_print): assertion `ctx != NULL' failed
=====
Printing still works fine if you choose lpr as your location instead of
explictly specifying it in the custom box. Personally, I'm using CUPS
here as my printing backend.
Cheers,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
