 Was it required for gedit?  I suppose so.

 I'm not sure whether it's easy to disable it in Epiphany only, perhaps
 with some env var uglyness.  The best would be to solve the bug instead
 of wasting time implementing a workaround.  But as far as I can see,
 nobody is currently working on one or the other.

 I prefer we simply recommend cups-pdf from the correct package (perhaps
 libgnomeprint?).

 We certainly wont patch the error message as that requires patching of
 the translations as well, and we don't have any infrastructure to help
 us achieve this.
