Description Bojan Smojver 2020-12-13 10:17:07 UTC
Description of problem:
Printing from Evo does not seem to work. The error is always:

Printing failed.
The printer replied “Printer not found”.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.38.2-1.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to print an email.

Actual results:
Printer not found.

Expected results:
Should print, just like all other apps in Gnome 3.82. Not quite sure when the problem started - haven't printed anything from Evo in a while.

Additional info:
Printing to file also doesn't work. I tested text editor, PDF viewer and Firefox on the same machine, in the same Gnome session(s) and printing worked. Note that the printer is configured by hand here, using static DNS name. No avahi or anything like that is involved.

Thanks for a bug report. That's a known WebKitGTK issue. Run Evolution as:

   $ WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 evolution

and it'll work. For the reference, this is the upstream bug about it:
