@ -10,7 +10,16 @@ Problems involving printing may relate to several components.
The configuration GUI (See above) is either https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=control-center[GNOME 3 System Settings application] or https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=system-config-printer[system-config-printer]. These packages also provide the printer applet, handle automatic queue creation, and disable/enable queues when USB printers are disconnected and reconnected.
Most GTK+ applications use the GTK+ print dialog. If the problem occurs when using GTK+ applications but not when printing from the command line or from another non-GTK+ application, the problem should probably be reported against https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=gtk2[gtk2]. If the problem occurs with only one GTK+ application, and other GTK+ applications print fine, the bug should be filed against that particular application.
Most GTK+ applications use the GTK+ print dialog. If the problem occurs when using GTK+ applications but not when printing from the command line or from another non-GTK+ application, the problem should probably be reported against the GTK+ version which the application uses. You can find out the version by the following query (*thunderbird* is used as an example of RPM package):
----
$ rpm -q thunderbird | grep gtk
libgtk-3.so.0
----
From the output you can see *thunderbird* uses GTK+ version 3.
If the problem occurs with only one GTK+ application, and other GTK+ applications print fine, the bug should be filed against that particular application.
If the problem only happens with PDF files, the bug may well be in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=poppler[poppler] (the CUPS *pdftops* filter is a wrapper around one of the poppler utility programs).
