Description of problem: If I select the my default printer in the evince print dialog, the print buttton is grayed out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-0.6.0-1.fc6.x86_64 cups-1.2.3-5.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I can print to my default printer from acroread, kpdf, firefox, etc. I can print the test page from system-config-printer and from the cups web access to the default printer. BUT, openoffice has the same problem if I try to print from the print dialog, though not if just use the print icon on the taskbar ( which doesn't pull up the print dialog, just prints to the default printer). Also, if I select other print queues ( none of which are actually available ), the Print button is NOT grayed-out. Only for the default printer. From localhost:631/printers: Description: the big black printer Location: the big black printer Make and Model: Local Raw Printer Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published. Device URI: lpd://192.168.2.250/lpt1 Evince ( and oo ) seem to have some problem interfacing with cups. All the other apps I use work alright.
this is a native postscript printer ( level 3). I don't think cups actually uses a ppd file for this - just treats it as raw. Could this be the problem?
