claws-mail-html2-viewer cannot print without html2ps

[jcfp]

Binary package hint: claws-mail-extra-plugins

Claws-mail-html2-viewer cannot print unless the html2ps program is installed. Currently 'html2ps' is not a dependency.

To reproduce: start claws-mail, load the plugin, open a html email, and try to print it while viewing as html. Program will give an error message saying "Printing HTML is only possible if the program 'html2ps' is installed". Installing that package fixes the problem.

Tested on karmic, likely to exist on lucid too given the similar lack of a html2ps dependency there.

callum, thanks for your interest in fixing this bug. Unfortunately, it seems your patch adds html2ps as a build dependency, which won't solve the issue described in the bug report. I would suggest adding html2ps as a (recommended) dependency to the claws-mail-html2-viewer binary package instead.

jcfp, thanks I should have now fixed this and I will attach a new patch

Cheers

Hi,

I'm not able to reproduce the bug (I tried to load the 2 html viewer plugin, and I'm able to print to my epson printer).

Could you please elaborate?

Thanks,
Fabrice

@Fabrice: exact steps to reproduce are given in the bug report. Everything is needed, including the "while viewing as html" part. Just loading the plugin doesn't have adverse effects in printing.
