[solved] Missing dependency with Mousepad?

Pardon if this is wrong forum. I'm still very new to Arch.

xfce4's mousepad would not print. Other apps would, but not mousepad. You could not adjust things like paper type (letter, legal, etc) or other printer options. If you tried to print, mousepad would say:

client-error-bad-request

On this xfce4 forum: (http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?action= … =showPosts)

Where I found that, apparently mousepad needs the package a2ps.

Sure enough, that solved it for me.

Hopefully, this message will get to the right people with Arch.  I really enjoy Arch so far, and I'm just trying to help in any way...

Thanks! You just solved my problem in 30 seconds. :-)
Is it possible to put a2ps in the mousepad's dependencies?
I love the power of arch and xfce...

Re: [solved] Missing dependency with Mousepad?

imo it should be added as a msg to the .install script
