Bug#575297: wxmaxima: printing of multiline output is garbled

[Andres Cimmarusti]

I have the solution to this bug. The upstream maintainer was right, there is
nothing wrong with wxmaxima.

The problem is that it actually NEEDS the libgnomeprintui to properly
print!. But this dependency is only listed as a suggestion for installing
the libwxgtk2.8-0 package (another dependency of wxmaxima).

I browsed through the wxmaxima dependencies in Debian (after reading the
README in the wxmaxima source tarball) and found that wxmaxima does not pull
libgnomeprintui with it. This causes the printing to be garbled. Once I
installed it, it worked beautifully.

PS: The wxmaxima source readme states that wxmaxima requires gnomeprintui
(and libwxgtk2.8-0 to be compiled with support for it), as it has problems
with other interfaces.

Please fix this dependency and the problem will go away

Thanks

Andres
