Evince prining problem -

        Suddenly I can't print the Sunday crossword puzzles! Firefox
        prints the pdf files via evince and something has gone wrong
        there. I have two Brother laser printers, an HL-5124 and an
        HL-2170W, printing to either one from Evince causes the "Paper"
        light to come on although they have plenty of paper in them. The
        printing process runs right up to the point where the paper
        should be picked up and stops with the error light flashing,
        same on both printers, I didn't try the HP ink jet but there's
        little doubt it would have been the same.

        The work around is to tell Firefox to print pdf's through xpdf
        which I also have. But I would like to fix the evince problem. I
        am not certain if this began as a result of yum updates done
        9/22 per the log, but I see a couple of CUPS updates listed? I
        didn't see any printer configuration items in the evince menus ...

        Any thoughts, suggestions welcome.

        Bob
