Re: Printing problem

[Tim Boring <tboring insight rr com>]

Yep...no fontmap2 but do have a ~/share/fonts/fontmap file.  The version
of gnprint I've got installed is 0.25...it came with Ximian Gnome 1.4.
And Gnumeric is v0.67...also installed w/ XG1.4.

Is there a more recent version of gnome-print?  I'll try to install it
this weekend, if so.  

As for the fonts, I've got both the standard AND optional ghostscript
fonts installed from the SuSE7.0 distro.  Out of curiosity I checked the
version of those packages against the updates on SuSE's site and I've
got the most recent versions (well, at least the most recent from SuSE).

Should I create rpms from source for gnome-print and gnumeric and see
what that does?

Thanks,
Tim
