Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-02-13 19:04:48 UTC 
This bug was reported to the Debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410811

"Subject line pretty much says it. Ordinarily this is a minor annoyance,
but Newegg's RMA e-mail contains a GIF for the barcodes. Attempts to
print from both evolution and eog both printed black rectangles, so I am
assuming the underlying library has the bug."

The bug was reported using version 2.12.1 but I have confirmed it with 2.17.0 (and eog 2.16.3). It happens with both transparent and non-transparent GIF images.

According to the original bug submitter, this also happens for tiff images.
Comment 2 Michael Chudobiak 2007-06-19 12:04:31 UTC

This problem was fixed in gthumb by moving to gtkprint...
