Bug#505005: evince: Evince does not show the printing-dialogue and crashes

[Johannes Postler]

As I already mentioned, the whole printing-system in Gnome is affected 
by this problem. However, I didn't know which package I should file a 
bugreport for.

The problem appeared with one of the updates in the past few weeks, 
since I didn't change any CUPS-configuration.

I'm running CUPS on a server, which is working properly (other clients 
can print). On the local machine, there is also a CUPS-deamon running, 
to which the printers are connected via IPP.
