I saw (and installed) xfprint4_4.4.2-2_amd64.deb enter Sid several days ago. Should this bug be closed, or is the matter still under investigation?
I did see a previous message to 'pkg-xfce-devel': http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-xfce-devel/2007-October/004759.html The OP of that msg gave a link to this discussion: http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=3160.0 It looks like people are misunderstanding the purpose of 'xfprint4': it provides printing support for XFCE- specific software, like 'mousepad'. The fact that other programs can print via CUPS while running XFCE does not imply that 'xfprint' is working... since it is not even being used by those programs. And, unless 'xfprint' has is entirely rewritten, it is completely dependent on 'a2ps' to print anything at all -- all of the options presented by menuing to Xfce -> Applications -> Print Dialog are actually 'a2ps' options! (I also found those options non-obvious, and nothing about them made sense until I read 'info a2ps' carefully.) At any rate, whether or not this bug is closed, thanks to Yves-Alexis for the new package upload! Also, in case this is important: Not a single message was sent, forwarded, or cc'ed to me during this conversation. The only mails I got from the BTS were autoreplies to messages I sent. I have had to keep checking the bug report page, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472660 in order to see whether there have been further responses. This seems to be a problem with the BTS. I had no problems with another recent bug report I made: all communications via the BTS were also forwarded to my email account. (FYI, I am using only an ISP email account, so the problem cannot be a misconfigured MTA on my end.) Thanks again, DW _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
