Francesco, for Ubuntu it is marked as fixed. Upstream missed to mark it, they only tell in a comment that they have fixed it.
** Summary changed: - evince sometimes yield error "Error printing: Too many failed attempts" + evince sometimes yield error "Error printing: Too many failed attempts" (Printing requires keeping the mouse moving in the window of the app) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359975 Title: evince sometimes yield error "Error printing: Too many failed attempts" (Printing requires keeping the mouse moving in the window of the app) Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: New Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “cups” source package in Karmic: Invalid Status in “gtk+2.0” source package in Karmic: Fix Released Bug description: After couple (two, three or four) successful printouts, evince stops printing and shows following error message: "Error printing: Too many failed attempts" Once the error is triggered, restart of cupsys does not help, whereas logout and login again allows couple more printouts from evince to succeed. It is interesting that the error is apparently triggered by printing single pages from a multipage PDF document. The bug is pretty reminicent of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/145278 , but I am not sure they are related.
