Thanks for trying to reproduce this problem. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a problem with my setup, however since it seemed I was the seond person to have this problem I thought I would chime in. > Try rebuilding libgnomeprint and gtk20 will WITH_CUPS="yes" > in /etc/make.conf, and see if it helps. > > Joe I already had WITH_CUPS="yes" in my /etc/make.conf. The contents of the file are as below. # I guess some ports use this ... #WITH_DEBUG=yes WANT_FAM_SYSTEM=gamin CFLAGS= -O -g -pipe STRIP= NO_PROFILE=true BATCH=yes # cups related CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes NO_LPR=true WITH_CUPS=yes WITH_GTK=yes WITH_SMB=yes # added by use.perl 2007-03-30 17:12:45 PERL_VER=5.8.8 PERL_VERSION=5.8.8 Perhaps there is something else incorrect here? My /etc/rc.conf contains the following: # GNOME gnome_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" polkitd_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" cupsd_enable="YES" Other notes: 1) I can sucessfully print a test page from the CUPS web interface ( http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/ ) 2) I can successfully print from Openoffice, including choosing printer and paper type (A3,A4 etc) This leads me to believe the CUPS setup itself is not the problem. 3) I cannot print a test page from the Gnome cups manager because it sets the paper to Letter size (when sending a document to the printer, and the option to change paper size is blank (we use A4 in Japan and there is no Letter size in the printer. There is however A3 size available in the printer). The PPD file has the defaults set to A4 and nowhere mentions Letter size. In fact, I can't choose the paper size from any Gnome application except Openoffice. 4) I have no problem with print preview 5) I have this problem with a newly created user as well 6) Interestingly enough, in Evolution choosing a CUPS printer leads to the print button being blanked out, and therefore I can't directly choose those printers. At least it doesn't freeze ... If you can't repoduce the problem then I guess it just a problem with my setup somewhere, because Gnome and CUPS has always been a problem area for me. Thanks again for your time.
