My filthy workaround for this issue: cd /tmp wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gtk+2.0/libgtk2.0-0_2.10.11-0ubuntu3_powerpc.deb dpkg -x libgtk2.0-0_2.10.11-0ubuntu3_powerpc.deb foo cd /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends sudo mv libprintbackend-cups.so libprintbackend-cups.so.broken sudo cp /tmp/foo/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-cups.so .
This replaces the faulty library with the version from Feisty, which apparently doesn't suffer from this bug, while leaving the package manager none the wiser. Hopefully the next upgrade will fix this rather than breaking it again. -- [gutsy] getting "Error Printing: Too many failed attempts" error when printing through GtkPrintOperation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
