    You may get a warning in the terminal: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap"

    To solve this problem, you need gtk2-engines-pixbuf installed.
    > From Ubuntu Software Center, search gtk2-engines-pixbuf then install,
    > or from the terminal
    sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

      Solution for my trouble with printing was to install Cups-PDF and especially to make sure that the page was set to "letter" under page setup.

    I have installed Cups-PDF and set the page to US letter, and the app crashes on printing. Any ideas?
