Re: [Evolution] Evolution printing issue under RHEL 3.0

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

I guess i would start looking at the system printing utilities or gnome-print.

e.g. what is the default printer, etc.

can you setup a gnome/evolution printer which prints to a command, and just put 'lp' into the command, for example?  i can't remember what the dialogues look like.

as a workaround there's always printing to a file option, as inconvenient as that might be.  saves trees perhaps ...
