Recently i updated my system (Debian SID) to Gnome 2.4, I used printtool
with Gnome 2.2 to manage printers, but now i can´t manage my printers
with printtool, so i removed printtool and installed cups with the
gnome-cups-manager front-end, the problem is that i can´t print from
applications like acroread and ggv but i can from applications like
argouml or mozilla, I don´t know what happens, any suggestion?

Thanks.
