There is a problem with stable "x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.16" It causes Firefox "Print to File" (PS or PDF) from Print window to print only to user home directory. Evince will not print at all to PS or PDF file. I downgraded my system to "gtk+-2.24.12" and all my systems are working perfectly gtk+-2.24.16 should be mask unstable This is related to bugs I posted: 466044 and 466188

I don't think this has anything to do with "x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.16" I posted earlier. It is permission problem when spooling the print job.
If it ignores directory selection, how can you get permission problems at all?
I think the problem is caused by: x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.16 There is no problem when running: gtk-2.24.12 or 2.24.17
