Package: evince
Version: 48.1-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: gianpaoloc at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,
Evince hangs (consuming 100% of a single core) after pressing CTRL-P on any pdf. No dialog appears. 

My desktop manager is Cinnamon (version 6.4.13-1), perhaps this is relavant. Printing is fine in other GTK applications (e.g., thunderbird/firefox). 

I tried downgrading evince to the trixie version (48.1-3) and the problem persists.

Let me now how can I help debugging the situation.

Sincerely
  Gianpaolo
