Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 1:2.22.2~2
Severity: normal
I upgraded from etch to sid and all gnome applications I have tried
(including epiphany, eog, and evince) can now only print to a file.
In etch all printers available in /etc/printcap were usable. I used
lprng in etch, but in the upgrade cups got installed as well. I'm
more familiar with lprng, so I removed all the cups-related packages,
thinking that destructive interference might be going on. However,
the above problem existed both before and after this removal. I can
print in sid to any printer in printcap using lprng from applications
like gv or xpdf, or directly from the command line.
I tried poking around to see what was wrong, but printing in gnome is
pretty opaque.
