Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

I opened issue 13 of full circle magazine (http://fullcirclemagazine.org/download-manager.php?id=74).
It looks fine.
I want to print it, I go to File->Print, I select my HPLaserJet6MP printer and click Print.
Nothing comes out of the printer.
I go to File->Print->Print Preview
After 15 seconds of full CPU load, Evince Document Viewer opens with error message:

Unable to open document
Unhandled MIME type: "application/octet-stream"

thank you for your bug report, that seems to be an upstream issue, could you open it on bugzilla.gnome.org too?

I checked if the bug still exists in my current Hardy installation, with Proposed and Backports enabled.
Although it takes a while, print preview does work now.
Do you still want me to track it on bugzilla.gnome.org?

no need to report the bug to GNOME if that works correctly now, closing the bug
