Problem:
When I run xfprint4-manager, the window is empty and I can only access Quit and About from the print manager's menubar.
The cups webpage interface shows the printer is installed and most applications print fine.
I would like to use xfprint4-manager to verify documents sent to the printer for applications that don't print fine instead of the tedious cups webpage interface.
Steps to reproduce:
1. n/a. I just login as nonroot user, start X, run xfprint4-manager from the Accessories menu.
System info:
Gentoo Linux
Xfce 4.6.0
Cups 1.3.9
Xfprint 4.6.0 (with cups_plugin.so compiled and installed)
Steps to troubleshoot:
1. recompiled xfprint with debugging enabled.
2. run xfprint-settings from terminal
$ xfprint-settings system. c:79] load_printing_ system( ): trying to load printing system module /usr/lib/ xfce4/xfprint- plugins/ bsdlpr_ plugin. so system. c:171] load_printing_ system( ): printing system module loaded system. c:79] load_printing_ system( ): trying to load printing system module /usr/lib/ xfce4/xfprint- plugins/ cups_plugin. so system. c:171] load_printing_ system( ): printing system module loaded

3. looks good. run xfprint4-manager from terminal
$ xfprint4-manager manager: 6698): WARNING **: xfprint: XfPrint/system is not set

4. open Settings Editor. XfPrint/system not found, but printing-system is set to cups_plugin.so.
Is it possible that some parts of xfprint were not completely converted to xfconf? In commit r27696 of xfce-commit mailing list, warning messages for "XfPrint/system" were replaced with warning messages for "printing-system".
