I am having a problem with CUPS and Gnome. I am running
Gnome 2.6.2, Gnome-Office, and Xorg all installed via ports.

I have a P4 2.6 with 1G of ram 

%uname -a
FreeBSD p4.hawaii.rr.com 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 
5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 #9: Sun Oct  3 10:25:03 HST 2004

I recently attached a HP 890C DeskJet printer. I installed
Cups and gnome-cups-manager from ports. I am able to use the
web interface and install the printer. The test page prints
fine. I can also print a text file from gedit without trouble.

#	I can also print a test page from gnome-cups-manager

The problem is with AbiWord2, gnumeric and the pdf files. The
Print Preview screens show blank and when I click on file; print;
and then the paper tab, the "Paper size" field is not bold and
reads "no options are defined". I did define the paper in the
web setup of cups and these programs do show the 890C as the printer.

Of course, I am unable to print from these programs.

Here is a little info:

I have also done a "portupgrade -f libgnomeprint-\* libgnomeprintui-\*"
to no avail.

If anything else is needed I will be overjoyed to provide it.
