I'm not sure but it seemed muttprint used geometry
LaTeX package. It was changed substantially in the
new teTeX. What happend if you replaced geometry.sty
with the old one?
If it worked, this is a bug of muttprint, and the possible
fix will be;
- change to support the new geometry (the best fix ;)
- add 'compat2 option like \usepackage[compat2,...]{geometry}
- provide the old geometry.sty somewhere, e.x.
/usr/share/muttprint/geometry.sty and modified muttprint
like
\\usepackage[$PaperTex,left=$Config{LEFTMARGIN}mm,right=$Config{RIGHTMARGIN}mm,%
top=$Config{TOPMARGIN}mm,bottom=$Config{BOTTOMMARGIN}mm,headsep=5mm]{/usr/share/muttprint/geometry}
(I'm not sure if the absolute path worked in \usepackage{...}
or not, though)
or modified
\input{/usr/share/muttprint/geometry.sty} ?
Anyway, try something similar.

This and the rest seemed not accessible.
