well, the bug became too annoying to me, and I finally got around to hunt it down to a simple integer-64/32bit-truncation bug...
sprintf was using "%lu" (on powerpc sizeof(long)==4) on a 64bit integer, which on little endian has the simple semantic of taking the lower 32bit word, but on big-endian powerpc it takes the upper 32bits of the 64bit datum, which is going to result in a 0 length for the usual print requests... ...can we get this fix in gutsy plz? :) ** Attachment added: "type casting fix for zero-content-length bug" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10063699/gtkcupsutils_type_fix.diff -- [gutsy] getting "Error Printing: Too many failed attempts" error when printing through GtkPrintOperation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
