Description Ekatalog developers 2005-07-05 06:31:15 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12

File -> Print...
What happens:
 epiphany launches lpr with weird arguments (without dispaying any dialog):
 wiga ~ # head -n 2 /usr/bin/lpr
 #!/bin/bash
 echo "$@" > /tmp/lpr.args
 wiga ~ # cat /tmp/lpr.args 
 -PlassifiedddassifiedddtB
 wiga ~ # 

This weird string contains some unprintable characters (shown as ^C by vim)

IMHO it should look like: -PBrother :). And ask which printer to use.

Software:

gnome-2.10
cups-1.1.23
epiphany-1.6.0

I removed the commandline lockdown check, the rest seems to be a dup of bug 301730.
