Hi Rob and co., http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=293397 seems to be affecting all GNOME applications.
Here's a test case for gedit: [File -> Print] Select "Generic Postscript" as your printer and choose Custom as your Location. It doesn't matter if you change the string "lpr" or not. [Print] Nothing is printed, but here's the STDERR output: ===== ** (gedit:16936): WARNING **: Opening 'lpr' for output failed (gedit:16936): GnomePrint-CRITICAL **: file gnome-print-ps2.c: line 260 (gnome_print_ps2_construct): assertion `ret == GNOME_PRINT_OK' failed (gedit:16936): GnomePrint-WARNING **: file gnome-print.c: line 132: Destroying Context with open transport (gedit:16936): GnomePrint-CRITICAL **: file gnome-print-job.c: line 555 (gnome_print_job_print): assertion `ctx != NULL' failed ===== Printing still works fine if you choose lpr as your location instead of explictly specifying it in the custom box. Personally, I'm using CUPS here as my printing backend.
