Printing from Evolution Mail does not respond

[Evan Makundi]

Binary package hint: evolution

I added a Network Printer on my Ubuntu installation. This is a HP Laserjet 4200 printer using wireless print server.
I tried to add the printer as a network printer but it could not work at all, Eventually I decide to look from shared the printers from a windows xp Machine and was able to print using this sharing from MS Windows. Though I have managed to print using open office, Thunderbitd and other applications but the problem is that Evolution print button does not seem to work. When Printing from Evolution the Printer blinks for about 3 seconds as if it is receiving data but then it stops blinking and nothing prints.

Thank you for your bug. Is the problem specific to evolution? Does printing from other software work correctly?

Yes I can print on all the other applications including Firefox but not
Evolution

This bug, and bug #123011 may possibly be the same bug.

Printing from Evolution Mail worked for me previously with Dapper, but about a month ago I updated to Fiesty. I'm not sure because I don't print a lot of email, but it is most likely when things broke.

When I print from Evolution Mail to my directly connected HP Laserjet 4m, the job appears to go ok, but when starting to print, the printer LCD displays the message "Load A4." This printer only has one paper cartridge in it and is set up to print on US Letter.

All the usual apps that I've tried so far (OO.o, Firefox, gedit, Evince) print fine.

perhaps related to bug 86426?

Evan -- what type of paper is installed on the printer? Evo 2.10 has a major bug in printing (see the bug above), and only accepts A4.
