Bug description:
I ran into the 'greyed out print button' in evince in gutsy 7.10.
I was working with a network printer and it worked via
lpr and in fact any tool that did not rely on the GTK
print dialog.
Evince and evolution were clearly broken. As was the system
printer configurator via the menu. It kept dying after reporting
an error connecting to cups.
I could use xpdf instead of evince and print fine. I could
also use the GTK dialog to print to a file and then send the
file to the printer using any non-GTK tool.
In /etc/cups/client.conf I had put
ServerName 192.168.1.16
In the end the problem was that I did not have an entry
in /etc/hosts for 192.168.1.16.
If I add an entry like
192.168.1.16 printer.mydomain.tld printer
then everything works well including evince and evolution.
Without that entry or a similar one in /etc/hosts, all the programs
that use the GTK print dialog malfunction and the system print
configurator dies.
