Hey Troy,

Yes, I just did a test, and I can print web pages from firefox,
pictures from gimp, and text from emacs. Its only from evince or gedit
that I get the error message. Is there something unusual in the way
these applications issue print commands which is causing this problem?

Thanks,
Craig
