Description Paul Blazejowski 2005-04-23 19:10:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When trying to print either to a printer or file, Epiphany shows print error
dialog stating that it was unable to find/print to a default printer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Epiphany browser go to file --> Print
2. go to File --> Print
3. Select Print or File --> Print

Actual results:
Print Error dialog comes up and it shows that there was a problem printing to
default printer, this happens regardless of choosing Printer or File.

Expected results:
It should print to choosen device.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, it occurs everytime.

Other information:
chpe suggested writing print_printer_name "PostScript/default" in
/apps/epiphany/dialogs using gconf editor which seems to make printing work again.
