[SOLVED] Printing from claws-mail

Hi, I cannot print from claws-mail, either to a real printer or the pdf generator.

I had the same problem with Evolution but I found a fix, I changed the launcher to

env WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 evolution %U

However this does not work with Claws.

If I try to print with Claws the application just hangs after the print dialog goes, no output is generated and I have to killall -9 claws-mail and start it again.

I am using XFCE and so far nothing else has a problem printing, I can copy the email and print from a text editor or libreoffice but it is annoying.

Thanks for any pointers or if there is a known reason this does not work.

Re: [SOLVED] Printing from claws-mail

claws allows me to "print" into a file (pdf, ps, svg) even w/o cups and cups_pdf prints into /var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER/
Are you trying to print some html "mail" from the dillo or webkit plugin?
