The reason for that is simple : most of my printing has historically been from gtk applications. If cups has been installed before gtk+-2 then the gtk2 apps can see the cups print queues when those have been created. I assume the same is true for gtk3, and probably for qt.
Note that I never have _working_ printing until quite late in my build : my sequence is xorg then glib/gtk_2,3}, preferred wm, firefox, printing stack including gutenprint [ after that, I can print ] plus the gimp and other photo stuff, office apps [ I keep various notes in spreadsheets :) ], remaining AV [ pulls in qt for vlc ], other apps. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
