Bug 267093 – Printing from a lot of Gnome applications as gimp, firefox, etc works only to a file.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Juergen Rose 2009-04-22 13:24:09 UTC]

If I go to the printing dialog and select a printer besides "printing to file" the OK button is not selectable. This holds for the gnome applications like gimp, firefox, gnumeric .  With other programs like gv, gtklp, acroread, gqview printing has no problems. 

I have the following versions of gnome-base applications installed:

Have you tried the fix from bug #266678 ?

[Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-04-22 22:18:13 UTC]

sound much similar indeed. Handing over to printing.

Hi Marc,

thanks, it seems to be the same problem as described in bug #266678.
Adding the line 

HostNameLookups On

to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf solved the problem.
