Bug#489765: libgtk2.0-0: does not allow lpr printing through Iceweasel 3

Well, users should not be using lprng unless they know what they are doing. The default is to use CUPS which has been the recommended print server for years. If we enable the lpr backend by default, it will lead to a misleading UI for users of CUPS, so we choose to not enable it. Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.

When you drop a trusted functionality which available for 15 years, you should at least have the politeness to warn users about this fact. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#489765: libgtk2.0-0: does not allow lpr printing through Iceweasel 3
Package: libgtk2.0-0 Version: 2.12.10-2 Severity: important Iceweasel 3 cannot print when using lprng; only when using CUPS. Installing libgtk2.0-0 by compiling the sources from gtk.org (there called gtk2+-2.10 or similar) cures the problem. So it seems some Debian customisation of libgtk2.0-0 has killed lprng compatibility. There are many users who prefer lprng. They can't print from Iceweasel anymore, so this is a Bad Thing, making this bug Important. Please keep Debian applications as independent from each other as possible, in order to preserve freedom of choice for the users.

I should also mention that this can also be set system-wide in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc The surprise is that Firefox/Iceweasel uses the GTK+ print dialog now, so I guess users are more likely to find this in the README.Debian (or NEWS.Debian?) for the iceweasel package even though the configuration is for GTK? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
