If multiple users are having the problem, is that good enough to get the bug marked “confirmed”? This isn’t a problem that should be permitted for the release. I know that the release is scheduled for one week and one day from now, but Evolution is a major, major component of the overall Ubuntu system. If nothing else, from a user standpoint, it should work correctly. Printing might not be something that more technically knowledgeable users do terribly often, but I know some people whose e-mail filing system is “print it all out and put it in a filing cabinet.” As much as that makes me shudder, I do have the occasional need to print a message, and typically, that message is not less than one page in length, so it is subject to lossage on paper because of this issue.

Is there any way to have this fixed by or shortly after the release? Is there any more information that would be useful in attempting to get this problem figured out? It is easily reproduceable, by opening a mail message in Evolution longer than one printed page and attempting to print it or preview it. If it matters, my configuration is to use letter-sized paper, not A4. Also, the problem is reproduceable on printers other than my laser printer; it does the same for my locally connected ink jet printer, too.
