Bug#489765: libgtk2.0-0: does not allow lpr printing through Iceweasel 3

[Jan Willem Stumpel]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.12.10-2
Severity: important


Iceweasel 3 cannot print when using lprng; only when using CUPS.  

Installing libgtk2.0-0 by compiling the sources from gtk.org (there called 
gtk2+-2.10 or similar) cures the problem.

So it seems some Debian customisation of libgtk2.0-0 has killed lprng 
compatibility. There are many users who prefer lprng. They can't print 
from Iceweasel anymore, so this is a Bad Thing, making this bug Important. 

Please keep Debian applications as independent from each other as possible, 
in order to preserve freedom of choice for the users.

See also the discussion on the Debian user list, starting approx. at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/07/msg00430.html

Regards, Jan
