I found this thread because I caused myself a similar problem (greyed- out button in the gnome print dialog box) by making an incorrect entry to the hosts file on a fresh install of 8.04 (with the home directory contents restored from backup of 7.04).
Just for info then, 127.0.1.1 boxname instead of 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost boxname caused the "greyed-out button" problem for me (where "boxname" is, of course, the name of the localhost). WARNING: although correcting this entry sorted the greyed-out print button issue for me, it created a follow up problem. The menu bar of a newly opened application was melded with the applications-places- systems panel at the top of the screen. That made the desktop pretty much unusable. Newly created users were not affected, so to get around this I just created another user for myself. -- evince/evolution/gtk-print-dialog printing and system-config-printer fail when using client.conf with IP address for which there is no reverse look-up available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196429 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
