I'm seeing the same issue. Evince won't print after sbus upgrade. Using the Gnome PDF viewer "gpdf" will print my pdf document, but not evince. I deleted and then re-added my printer in cups and and now evince is printing again. My guess is evince chats with cups to get printer options for the printer and uses this to make the tabs for printer options. If this fails, it won't light the print submit button.

Hey, it was a guess :) Go into the cups admin UI at http://localhost:631/printers/ and hit the "Set Printer Options" button. That wasn't working for me. When I re-added the printer, the set printer options cups feature started working again and that is also when evince started printing.

I can do it through the web-interface or through the Gnome cups manager. Both work fine. But evince and Yelp still cannot see the printer. It doesn't show up in the print dialogue. This is what I see in the gtk-print-dialogue: - Print to File - Print to LPR No more, no less. I finally found the solution. GTK+-2.10.6 didn't install libprintbackend-cups.so when compiled after updating dbus. Recompiling GTK+ solved the problem. Funny though that revdep-rebuild showed no problems. |
