Abiword print problem

[Mikkel C. Simonsen]

A small update.

I have tried installing the same Abiword package on another system - 
also running 5.3R, but with Gnome installed.

On that system printing works fine - both with the original "lpr" 
print-command and with "lpr -Plp".

Does the Abiword package "behave" differently when Gnome is installed?

Best regards,

Mikkel C. Simonsen
