Re: [Evolution] Red-Carpet update breaks Printing

[Saurabh Barve <sa atmos colostate edu>]

Rick,

I can print from xpdf just fine. I can also print from OpenOffice, I 
think what happened that an update of gnomeprint broke only the 
'pure-gnome' applications, as it were - gedit etc.   Before I updated 
Evolution using Red-Carpet, I was able to print e-mails just fine. It's 
only after the update that things don't work. I guess I am at fault too 
since I didn't select the "Enable rollback" option in Red-Carpet. I 
also tried erasing the gedit package and reinstalling it from the Red 
Hat rpm; that didn't work either.

Saurabh.
