OpenOffice has already had PDF printing built-in for a long time; it doesn't use GTK2 or QT for printing. See the PDF icon right besides the Printer icon on the toolbar or, alternately, use the Export As... option in the File menu. A good test for GTK2 applications would be to print e.g. a plain text file using Gedit. If that test fails, then we've indeed got a bug on GTK2 worth investigating. However, if this only affects OpenOffice, then that's where the bug should be assigned. Returning to this particular CUPS-PDF issue, this is the same bug that everyone experiences due to AppArmor. That was working fine on Intrepid but, presumably, some Linux kernel issue introduced since Jaunty makes our AppArmor profile in the CUPS package fail. -- cups-pdf incompatible with .Private ecryptfs-encrypted homedir https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371129 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
