Hi, No, waiting for upstream to fix this is probably not a good idea, gnome-cups-manager haven't had a new release since 2005... I'm not sure what the best solution (or work around) is? There's a suggestion in bug 379510 (commenting out the code "b4_inc_state restore"). Looking at the Ubuntu package, it seems they are simply replacing the eps files with proper ps ones. I would really appreciate it if someone from pkg-gnome could have a look on this. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
