Strange print behavior on some programs...
 

Folks,

I'm running Xubuntu 7.10 (fully updated) and am having some trouble with
printing emails out of either Claws Mail or Evolution. I can print out
of OpenOffice, Firefox, Acroread, Gedit. But with both email programs,
when I bring up the print dialog box, the programs freeze and I have to
restart them. I've tried reinstalling the printer (an HP Deskjet 6540),
but that didn't help. And it happens regardless of
session/window-manager combo -- Xfce4, Gnome, Fluxbox, Openbox, etc.
Seems kind of odd that these two programs would be the only two that
hang up on print, but hey, whadda I know?

Thanks in advance for any guidance...

With best regards,

Pete

I don't know how helpful this will be. I can print fine in Evolution on
my old Okidata OL 600e Laser. Before my HP 6L died, I had to check the
printer settings in the program, then preview the printout before I
could print. If I did not do that in the right order, I locked up and
had to force quit the program.

Still, the printouts were good when I got it to work. Maybe someone else
has a better answer.

good luck,
