GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 505453
print preview does not work
Last modified: 2008-02-25 17:09:38 UTC
Please describe the problem: When clicking on "print preview" on the print dialog, the window does not show up -- and on the terminal running eog, I get the following error message: $ Unknown option --print-settings Exécuter « evince --help » pour obtenir la liste complète des options en ligne de commande. It seems the problem is that eog expects a more recent evince release than I have: $ evince --version GNOME evince 0.8.3 Perhaps this is just a problem with the Debian packaging of eog: should it depend on evince 2.20.2 (which is in currently in unstable)? Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an image 2. Select image->print 3. click on "print preview" 4. examine the terminal running eog (or .xsession-errors) Actual results: An error message appears in the terminal Expected results: The print preview is shown Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I considered filing this as a Debian bug, but refrained for no good reason.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. I can't reproduce on Ubuntu Gutsy + Eog 2.20.1 you miss a specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
It works for me with evince 2.20.2, which I installed from unstable. So the problem was that I was using evince 0.8.3, which is what was in testing at the time. I think the only thing that should be done about this bug, is have eog check evince's version number and notify the user that it is too old for print preview. (Or even better, disable the use of the --print-preview switch, if that can be made to work at all). Thanks.
I'm moving this to GTK+, as this is actually done by the default handler of GtkPrintOperation's "preview" signal. You could check that this is probably reproducible with any GtkPrintOperation powered application.
This looks a lot like a duplicate of bug #491488.
That's right. Marking as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 491488 ***
