Hi:
When using PageSetupDialog in wxPython 2.8.10.1 (gtk2-unicode),
a button "Printer..." appears in the dialog that has no effect when
pressed.
I am using Debian Squeeze with kde and no gnome installed.
I tried EnablePrinter(False), which grays out the button.
However, I would like to get the button working correctly.
Alternatively, it should disappear completely from the dialog.
How can this be achieved?
Regards
Martin
There are a couple different printing backend libraries that can be used on Linux and so the answer may depend on how your wx packages were built. If libgnomeprint is used then the dialogs actually come from there and the printing support will be more capable but we have less control over it. Otherwise the built-in wx postscript support code will be used, which is less capable but we have more control over it.
Back to your question, I'm not as familiar with the lower level details of printing on GTK as I am on the other platforms, so you may need to ask about this on wx-users.

The problem seems to be there only if libgnomeprint is not used.

I am going to post the question there, too.
