Bug#539986: libgtk2.0-0: print dialog shows no CUPS printers

[Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.14.7-4
Severity: important

Hello,

starting with 2.14.7-4 and up to 2.16.5-1 the libgtk2.0-0 print dialog
shows no CUPS printers anymore. Due to this, GTK-applications like gimp
or firefox are unable to print anywhere else than to file.
Downgrading to 2.12.12-1 (the version in lenny) solves this problem,
CUPS printers are shown with it in gimp and firefox.

There is a client-only CUPS installation on the machine in question,
i.e. no local CUPS-server. The machine's /etc/cups/client.conf points to
the remote CUPS server. It seems like libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1 deals
correctly with that while later versions don't do it anymore.
