That's probably worth filing a bug report about. The fact that you can print via Icecat is interesting. I've had...trouble...printing from Guix System (formerly known as GuixSD) in the past. But I think what you're experiencing may be different from what I experienced. Are you able to print a test page successfully from the cups web interface? To try this, go to: http://localhost:631/ Click on "Printers". Select the printer you want. Click on the "Maintenance" drop-down menu. Select "Print Test Page". You can watch the status of the job in the web interface, also. Also, you might be able to find out more about why the Evince print job is misbehaving if you examine it in the CUPS web interface. You can also modify CUPS logging to make it log more verbose messages. I've found that helps narrow down problems sometimes. You can sometimes find interesting error messages that way. I'd also look into debugging Evince - maybe it has an option that spits out more verbose messages? Try starting it on the command line with "evince"; maybe it's saying something useful. I hope that helps. You're not alone! Let's try to solve this together. I wish printing were easier. :-( =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlxvdAEACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp21CA//TnhY7jzk2LAYazMhKav20hH3agZYxLx0Gbay+JYMeIfQNiYWfBvG9cz6 L7df1Pml/Ccd7fT6a1KvFcqxXjXT6J+LRAO6oI8rILLVAvCZnQWwM6qFY0dDadJt Q77HUpqCpUCvco5tFteGe1oYoUtYJOXWlPwjyW9Z+CdKBvjWzR1Jj02QMN7VUobz H+ZlsyXw3HcoTRZ61m+guEOKNYk+Sp0vFLjrfnYEb8o0COYmiJuF3udNO/xpy96v uoZFI39E4zFa276Uflu1AMnUC10cHyXKnzGWLMpF8XVVTVwJ24EeqhpB8AJzx3Pc kXUzmscrjfeAGsg3+a4R9/JauRkrddIEwMRQZ6HNJ9bgS0XR9CuGRoElR5Forte6 Z4PwhTWMix/HJwMwC6nw9UTY/zDKaRT1I6+4s+dq180V3eFcTEO5XbYrhR9QC8cH 4PHxbiVI4SMKa85QLxycdf2cSP2WGZIRp9cMMmJUjR6r0f0VJPeGm4uYCXf164hy cPKKU6m0E8/da14RHuMIKkn5VUgS2y8yviMGmg3YYxFZygLrjRoJ8XaGEkomcx5d FAnTVVhxbekGYThkmNOvwxN+f6E5Z3Aa4e6l/KYOLpZ2Hwalb0SrFTeyFECOrQ0b l64k+4DoNiiejmQqwAd2BHyzbKtSLD5QTiU6k84wJz+WLQFwg+E= =fNx4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
