I can generally google, startpage actually, and find something related to what I'm looking for. BGO however rarely works for me. In this case I think it was my search terms tho. I searched for Seamonkey or Firefox plus print. Still, I sometimes wonder if searching that thing is worth the time given my past with that thing. lol At least I know it was reported. I thought about it but other than one version working and one not, I didn't have much info to give. Now to go work on this issue. > Andreas Sturmlechner wrote: >> # Andreas Sturmlechner (2020-02-16) >> # No more revdeps, abandoned upstream, depends on deprecated dev-qt/qtwebkit. >> # Masked for removal in 30 days. >> kde-misc/kwebkitpart Seems I have to disable the webkit USE flag now.

The GUI menu is probably using the Gtk3 widget kit by default, to draw buttons and what not. For a better idea launch seamonkey/firefox using a terminal and see what it reports when you try to print. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] Web browsers crash when trying to print.
Howdy, I first discovered this with Seamonkey. I then tested this with Firefox and got the same results. When I go to File and select Print, the print dialog window pops up for just a second and then the web browser crashes. Both seem to use the same print software. I tried a different version of Seamonkey but it does the same. I also tested a fresh profile of Seamonkey as well, Firefox also. I don't print from Firefox much. Also, if I select Print Preview from the menu, it opens normally but as soon as I click print, crash. I then tried a newer unstable version of cups just in case it would help. After that, I opened Kwrite and tried to print. Its print dialog opened and waited for me to hit print. LOo did the same. However, both of those use a different software or at least they look very different to print with. Usually going back a version or up a version fixes things like this. Given that this didn't work in this case, I'm not sure where to go. Two versions of Seamonkey and Firefox both crash. A newer version of cups and it still crashes. I did a search on BGO and didn't find anything except for a fixed version of Chrome which I don't have on here. I suspect it uses different software to print anyway. So no help there. Forums had a thread that was from 2010. It mentioned a USE flag which cups doesn't even have anymore. No solution on the forums. One other thing that may or may not be related. I did a emerge -e world a week or so ago. Before that, I could print fine. The reason I did that was because I switched to a new gcc and I just wanted to be sure everything was stable. I went from gcc-8 to gcc-9. It may not have been needed but it was cold here and I didn't mind the extra heat. Plus, it sometimes fixes other quirks I may not even see. Here is the info for Seamonkey, Firefox and cups. root@fireball / # emerge -p seamonkey firefox cups These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

It takes a while but it is doable as a last resort. I'm not sure if the printing is done within Seamonkey itself or if Seamonkey and Firefox use some common external print software. I'd think the later since both behave the same way. I'm just not sure. Any ideas or thoughts?? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
