Re: Printing not working at all...

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Riccardo,

the first thing I notice from your stack trace is that the line numbers are 
missing. That way I cannot tell which exception gets thrown. Most likely the 
PPD file is missing or corrupt. If the file is actually missing, you should try 
to select a different default printer. If there aren't any PPD files at all, as 
you wrote, you need to find out why that is the case.

Your issue with exceptions on X11 may be resolved by commenting out the line in 
NSMenuView.m that captures the mouse.

Even with that problem your results show that printing is still working, at 
least in some way. This poses the question why Greg is getting different 
results. I am currently far away from my computer so I am of little help. Maybe 
on the weekend I find a bit of time to look into that. As far as I am aware 
there hasn't been any changes to the printing code in the last year. The last 
obvious change I remember was by German to make PPD parsing saver.

On the road
