[SOLVED] CUPS and PDF files

Hi,

I came across a very unsual issue with my printer server. CUPS is installed and org.cups.cupsd.service is running. I can print test pages and pdf files through lp command, but pinters are not displayed in print dialog of Zathura. When I open the print dialog in acroread it crashes without producing any errors. I have tried running Zathura with -l debug switch and the output I get is:

[bar]%zathura -l debug file.pdf

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Libreoffice Print dialog works fine.

A matter which may be related is that I am using proxies on that network, but by default they're not set. If I open localhost:631 in the browser then the proxies need to be switched off.

Re: [SOLVED] CUPS and PDF files

Thanks a lot. Yes, installation of gtk3-print-backends solved the issue.
