[Bug 340515] Re: Consumes all CPU, logs a lot of output
I can confirm that this is still a problem for me. After upgrading from 8.10 the cpu was still high and I saw this was caused by vino. After disabling it from the system preferences menu "remote desktop", the cpu usage immediately goes down. Stopping the autostart with gconftool-2 as descibed above, logging off and on again, and then trying to reenable it in the remote desktop menu gives 100% cpu again (confirmed that vino wasn't running before this with ps).

Gimp does not follow instructions either (in gnome). On my Canon IP4000, if you select things like lower tray it ignores that and simply prints on the upper tray (this works correctly under kde BTW).

Sorry about the "me too" post, but I cannot stress enough that this is NOT a duplicate of any bug to do with *lpoptions.

Well I am using 2.12.1-3ubuntu2 and it (specifically selecting duplex for a print from the dialog box) does *not* work (and never has). However, as far as I can tell, paper selection and all the other options now *do* work.

[Bug 64797] printing uses gimp's default print parameters
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Evo: 2.8.1, edgy, patched up to 8Oct06
Evolution does not use the correct paper size when printing. In my case
(A4 paper) it effectively uses the top left hand quarter of the page
(effectively A6).
Actually, looking at this a bit more closely, it appears to be using the
default papersize that my gimp installation is using ("4x6 Borderless").
This has been going on here since I upgraded to 2.8.x. In a previous
(can't remember which one), the print size was huge (as in a confirmed
bug), but now the print size is about 8pt (even though I have not
changed things).

Gimp does not follow instructions either (in gnome). On my Canon IP4000, if you select things like lower tray it ignores that and simply prints on the upper tray (this works correctly under kde BTW). On evolution something different happens, select duplex and that is ignored, landscape and it prints landscape - but in the middle of a portrait page.

Sorry about the "me too" post, but I cannot stress enough that this is NOT a duplicate of any bug to do with *lpoptions.

Public bug reported:

Evolution does not use the correct paper size when printing. In my case
(A4 paper) it effectively uses the top left hand quarter of the page
(effectively A6).
Actually, looking at this a bit more closely, it appears to be using the
default papersize that my gimp installation is using ("4x6 Borderless").
This has been going on here since I upgraded to 2.8.x. In a previous
(can't remember which one), the print size was huge (as in a confirmed
bug), but now the print size is about 8pt (even though I have not
changed things).

Gimp does not follow instructions either (in gnome). On my Canon IP4000, if you select things like lower tray it ignores that and simply prints on the upper tray (this works correctly under kde BTW). On evolution something different happens, select duplex and that is ignored, landscape and it prints landscape - but in the middle of a portrait page.

Sorry about the "me too" post, but I cannot stress enough that this is NOT a duplicate of any bug to do with *lpoptions.

However, as far as I can tell, paper selection and all the other options now *do* work. Since the duplex check box is on a different screen to all the others, could it simply be that it has got overlooked?

[Bug 64797] printing uses gimp's default print parameters
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Evo: 2.8.1, edgy, patched up to 8Oct06
Evolution does not use the correct paper size when printing. In my case
(A4 paper) it effectively uses the top left hand quarter of the page
(effectively A6).
Actually, looking at this a bit more closely, it appears to be using the
default papersize that my gimp installation is using ("4x6 Borderless").
This has been going on here since I upgraded to 2.8.x. In a previous
(can't remember which one), the print size was huge (as in a confirmed
bug), but now the print size is about 8pt (even though I have not
changed things).

The problem was that it was far to easy to think that the default was the UK international with deadkeys (basically, it was the first option). In hardy the default is correct.
