Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Tried to print a jpg picture

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Restarted the machine, restarted printer, tried updating, looked at print queue (nothing), tried preview print (nothing)
Tried to print from GIMP (success)

   * What was the outcome of this action?

GIMP prints fine, geeqie does not.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I would like to print directly from geeqie.

Hello,
I tried to reach the print preview window and it looks like
geeqie does not print by itself, instead it seems to start evince:

     /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/gio-launch-desktop evince --unlink-tempfile --preview --print-settings /tmp/settingsDVNAZ1.ini /tmp/previewXTSFZ1.pdf
     /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/gio-launch-desktop evince-previewer --print-settings /tmp/settingsDVNAZ1.ini --unlink-tempfile /tmp/previewXTSFZ1.pdf

Therefore does installing the package evince get you to the print preview?


So either geeqie should report a missing evince,
or maybe adding a recommends would be desirable?

Kind regards,
Bernhard

Thanks - it does indeed sound reasonable to recommend on evince - If
you have evince installed, does printing work as you expect it then?

Sorry, I am not using geeqie regularly, I was just looking through some
reports and tested inside a non-persistent VM, and I did not test if a
print to the cups-pdf printer would have really worked.
Just have forwarded my findings.
