That's a known issue.

Printing doesn't work on a number of distributions (stack of bugs going
back some years that probably needs re-reviewing) -- so rather than
having a whole lot of users of different platforms complain about it, I
figured it was safer to turn it off.

Eventually, this would be the sort of thing i'd like to have a
'pre-GARNOME-setup' check for, that basically says:

* 'does your distribution have a sane compiler'
* 'does your distribution have a sane build environment'
* 'is your distribution {!= Linux/X86/X86-64/even relatively recent}'
and:
* 'are you trying to build on SuSE'

and turn various options we currently use as default on/off or use extra
patches to make people on the more broken distributions happier.
