If I new which package is causing it I wouldn't be asking questions on this forum! I'll emerge --rsync maybe it was fixed already. I know Firefox-17.0.4 has a printing problem to a folder other than /home/user/ folder but it was fixed in 17.0.5 version. What does a Firefox printing error have to do with evince? Please make at least *some* effort to help yourself and describe to the list what steps you took and the results, even if they were not successful. With an error like this I expect you to have already done some sane Google searches to see if this is a common problem or isolated to you, I would expect you to check bugs.gentoo.org and I would expect you to know what packages have been updated since the problem manifested. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

You left this step out. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com OK, I'm getting somewhere. After starting evince from command line I can print to pdf file; but only when starting it from a desktop I'm getting this error. Error printing - Operation not supported You are still not giving much in the way of information, and you are still getting replies from people that basically say Well, gee, I dunno what the problem is, but try this $RANDOM_MAGIC_SAUCE And it's this kind of response that makes the Ubuntu forums useless ;) It's an exercise in throwing shit at a wall and hoping some of it sticks. Nice analogy... So, it used to work. Now it doesn't work. Something changed in between. You need to provide the information to find what changed, no-one else can. And it doesn't help repeating the error message you get, we already know that. I agree, like actually provide more information when you mention that after using $$RANDOM_TOOL it doesn't work on another system either. In these cases, knowing what $$RANDOM_TOOL actually ended up doing would really help. Start with the short list of three items in my other mail. I promise you, and this is important, until you provide that information we will all keep going around in circles (unless you hit random pay dirt) and your printing will continue to not work. -- Joost Roeleveld

If I new which package is causing it I wouldn't be asking questions on this forum! I'll emerge --rsync maybe it was fixed already.
