mtPaint will not print images

[John Hupp]

With an image loaded in mtPaint, File: Actions: Print Image produces no response.

File: Actions: Configure: Print Image show that it is configured to run the command "kprinter %f". But as far as I can determine, kprinter was part of the kdeprinter package, which is not in the repos.

Workaround or basis for a fix release: Edit the Print Image command, making it "lpr %f". If instead you want a GUI Print dialog to appear, then install gtklp (one small package with no unmet dependencies) from the repos and make the command "gtklp %f".

I also get this in vivid amd64

Because this bug is a specific tweak of Ubuntu, it doesn't affect the upstream project.

The tweak can be done by following this manual:

Thank you! (Even for other purposes, I had wondered about setting global preferences for this program.)
