Thanks for replying.

I am using the current MacPorts version of Gramps (version 2.2.8-0.SVNexported) for genealogical work.
This has installed OK with the dependencies specified in its portfile.

However I was poking around the Gramps menus and found 'Help/Plugin Status' .

This reports that the Gramps plugin LPRDoc.py is Unavailable: 'Cannot be loaded because python bindings for GNOME print are not installed'. I guess that the portfile covers the dependencies for Gramps itself - but not all of the plugins.

I had managed to get another plugin working (I think it was PDFDoc.py) by manually installing a dependency (I think it was py25-reportlab) - so I was trying to do the same for LPRDoc.py by guessing what port would give me 'python bindings for GNOME print'. I already have py25-gnome installed and I couldn't see another obvious candidate in the py25 section of dports so I thought the problem might a Gnome component missing rather than a python component missing. The obvious candidate seemed to be gnome-print - but this fails to install because of the issue with gnome-libs I reported in my earlier email.

However, from what you say, it doesn't look like gnome-print is the answer to my problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on what port I should install to get the 'python bindings for GNOME print' with py25.

Thanks
