Description Kambiz Aghaiepour 2007-08-27 23:25:30 UTC
Description of problem:
Printing option is greyed option in evince and other applications.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-0.6.0-8.el5
gtk2-2.10.4-16.el5

How reproducible:
Try printing from evince.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "evince" 
2. attempt to print
3. see print is greyed out.
  
Actual results:
When you try and print from evince, you don't have the option to print

Expected results:
Printing should be enabled.

Additional info:
My apologies if this is an existing bug, but I found printing not working in
evince, and ggv and xpdf are deprecated.  This appears to be fixed in
gtk2-2.10.12 as per:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449194

meanwhile, my workaround for evince was to recompile with --with-print=gnome,
but that is not an ideal solution.

Please advise as to when you think this will be fixed.

It has been a little over a week since I filed this bug.  Can you please comment
on this problem?  I'm certain other people are having this issue as well.

Comment 2 Kambiz Aghaiepour 2007-09-05 16:31:40 UTC
Come on Matthias, I'd have thought that 5 and a half years at redhat would have
earned me at least an acknowledgment response.  :(   

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2007-09-05 16:37:42 UTC
not while I am on vacation

Comment 4 Kambiz Aghaiepour 2007-10-22 15:55:17 UTC
Hi.  Just wondering if you're back from vacation yet, and if we can look at this
issue.  It's getting to be critical, as the print button in openoffice and other
apps is grayed out.  This leads to grumpy instructors that come down hard on IT
staff, and it all rolls downhill.  Please assist.



Comment 5 Mike Hudson 2007-11-06 18:24:50 UTC
I am using gtk2-2.10.13-1.fc6 and I also experience the same bug so I am not
conmvinced that 2.10.12 fixes it.

My comments are in

Comment 6 Mario Torre 2008-09-15 09:48:40 UTC
I had to install adobe Acrobat and to use a windows machine for printing... I think this bug is a little urgent to fix...

A friend with the latest ubuntu box can print, so I guess the bug is specific to Fedora?

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2009-03-26 17:19:17 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2014-03-07 13:32:48 UTC
This bug/component is not included in scope for RHEL-5.11.0 which is the last RHEL5 minor release. This Bugzilla will soon be CLOSED as WONTFIX (at the end of RHEL5.11 development phase (Apr 22, 2014)). Please contact your account manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug.

Comment 11 Kambiz Aghaiepour 2014-04-08 02:11:15 UTC
Well, I suppose that's one way to deal with bugs.  Wait until the RHEL release against which is filed is past the end of development phase and *poof* now we can close with WONTFIX!  Well done.  In fact, from the time I first filed this bug, I ended up leaving Red Hat's employment for 4 years, and now I've returned to Red Hat's employment for over 3 years, and the bug is still in NEW status until it gets closed with WONTFIX.  This has to be some sort of record!  :-)
