Bug#491325: gnome-desktop-environment: Gnome unstable doesn't find printers

[David Raymond]

Dear Josselin,

Hmmm...  Seems to me that this is really a Gnome/GTK issue -- lprng
can't anticipate all its possible users, and really shouldn't be
responsible for doing so.  On the other hand, I respectfully find the
Gnome documentation on printing to be inadequate, which is bad because
it seems like the natural place to look to solve a problem like this.

Maybe there needs to be something in user preferences with a dialog
box to set up printing in Gnome.  Should this go upstream for a
solution?

Best regards,

Dave Raymond
