(F7+Gnome) Printing disabled in Evince and OOo

I have recently got a problem with printing. In Evince and OOo, the 
Print button in the print dialog is greyed out, so I can't print from 
these apps. It seems as if these apps use the same print dialog(?) so 
maybe there is something wrong with the setup here.

The other apps I have checked use different dialogs, and they are not 
greyed out. I can also print a test page from the printer administration 
tool. It prints fine.

I also tried OOo Writer as root; the print button was still greyed out.

I don't know exactly how long this problem has been present. I did't 
recognise it as a problem before today, thinking that I had stumbled 
over a pdf with printing disabled. (Can't pdfs have such a option set?)

I don't understand why this happens, and I haven't been able to find the 
reason myself, so I'm hoping that some of you might be able to help.


Best regards
