Bug#608798: gnome-desktop-environment: Alternative solution to print fron Gnome

[Francesco Cappelli]

Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 1:2.30+7
Severity: wishlist

I have experienced this ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/
bugreport.cgi?bug=583738 ) bug for a lot of months without
a solution, so I have written a simple Bash script with a
simple graphical interface using Zenity and Gxmessage to
print via lpr. You may find it interesting, I attach it here.
With Glpr you can specify some printing parameters and
print via lpr as OpenOffice do without problems.

Kind Regards


Francesco Cappelli
