Bugzilla Bug 197639

I just wanted to print some files in Gimp 2.4.0_rc3 and nothing happened (no
message but no printing)
In Sylpheed 2.4.7, when I want to print a mail I've got this error message :
Too many failed attempts


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Sylpheed, opening a mail
2. Click menu File, select Print...
3. Selecting a real printer (not to a file), and click Print
4. "Too many failed attempts"

In Gimp, no message but not printing
Actual Results:  
Not printing


After setting Cups-1.2.12-r1 to debug2 level, I can see the con->data_remaining
is set to 0, which is not possible

It's probably a bug from gtk+ 
Here's my error_log from cups

Somebody seems to report the same bug

Does the patch in that bug fix your problem?  None of us have PPC64, so we
can't test (and on amd64, sizeof(long) == 8)

Created an attachment (id=135254) [details]
Patch file for printing in gtk applications

It solved the problem

Okay, fixed in 2.12.1-r1.
