Evolution crashes reproducibly every time I try to print a mail using LPR. I can "print to a PDF file" without any issues, but printing directly reproducibly causes a hard crash with the following messages on the console: (evolution:26654): evolution-util-CRITICAL **:

Thank you for your comprehensive report. To me it sounds like a bug in the software provided upstream or a misconfiguration in your system [3]. Does the same source work for you on another distribution? For a start, check if you got already messages from the compiler and recompile this ebuild and it dependencies. If it works on other distributions, but not on Gentoo Linux, I suggest to discuss this problem on a related mailing list, forum or IRC channel. I have had very good experience on the Gentoo IRC [1], of course there are also forums and mailing lists. [2] I will close this bug here, because I do not see a relation to the gentoo ebuild or the way Gentoo handles this special software package. Please provide more information, if I am wrong. And then please use LANG=C for logs and *attach* the logfiles, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket and reopen this ticket (Status:unconfirmed). [1] https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/irc-channels/ [2] https://www.gentoo.org/support/ [3] look up the upstream forums search in their bugtracker
So you actually use lpr GtkPrintDialog, instead of CUPS?
And does such printing work in other gtk programs?
@Mart - I use the built-in print dialog and have no idea what that uses internally. At the moment, I do not have any other GTK programs to check, and since I was told to be off, I'm not sure whether I should go through the hassle of installing one just to be told that I should report the bug to upstream again.
Do you have USE=cups enabled on x11-libs/gtk+:3? equery u gtk+:3
USE=cups was not enabled on GTK+ (not sure why, since I've been using it for years exclusively). Enabling the cups USE flag on GTK+ changes the print dialog and solves the issue for me.
