Print Dialog doesn't Show my Printers Anymore

Hello everyone,

I have a strange bug right now. Although CUPS recognizes my printers (they are shown in the list of printers and I can print with them using lp), the Print Dialog doesn't show them. Every time I press Ctrl+P in evince or Open Office, I can just print to file, but nothing else. It worked until yesterday and I haven't changed any configs. What could be the missing point I don't see?

Thanks,
redterd

Have you installed the gtk3-print-backends package?

Edit - when did you last update your system? This has been a requirement for some time now.

Thank you with the plugin. I don't know why it worked until yesterday, but now it is working again. Thanks!
