I had the debug log on the older build, so I've just edited it on this one (the current 6.6 system), bounced cups, and given it another try. The results (from firefox's file->print) were slightly scary: the dialog window stayed grey for something like a minute and a half (instead of appearing, but with 'print' greyed out). Fortunately, it did eventually appear in full. The lines from access_log and error_log during this are attached - different error number, and I get the impression it was spinning somewhere.

Well, I say that, better give it a try. I've been cancelling the print jobs up until now. ... /me wonders why the dialog appears with print-to-file as the only option (greyed out) and stays that way, then remembers to restart cups (I'd stopped it to disable the debug logging again). Prints fine. > I always build gtk+ before cups and printing works fine for me. You set your printer as the default in cups, right ? Building cups before gtk+ gives access to the queues, and to the driver / cups options (job, quality, advanced tabs). > Do you use foomatic filters? No, I don't need them : cups -> ghostscript -> gutenprint (Epson r360). ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
