3.9.0cvs102

Got an email that I must print; but I get this Error dialog:
Printing HTML is only possible if the program 'html2ps' is installed.

However, there is no html2ps in the new plugins setup.

Switched to plain text view; but I get the same error...  is it not possible to print the plain text view?

The 'html2ps' program is not part of Claws Mail, you can get it from http://user.it.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html

Regarding plain text printing it works here, and uses GTK+ printing facilities.
So, either you're missing some GTK+ include (but I doubt it would build in that case) or the GTK+ printing facilities are not correctly setup or are missing some dependency which makes the default print to pdf/ps file not possible. Can you print from other (GTK+) applications?

Sanitized email

I was hoping that Colin's effort to eliminate extra plugins would allow us to avoid chasing plugins for basic features... :)

Here's a sanitized copy of the email which won't print in either mode.

Sanitized printout

Attached the sanitized printout of your mail, of course, done with Claws Mail latest CVS.

Just right click on summary view, print, and select PDF output file. :-)

cvs102 configure output

I'll get the latest cvs and rebuild. Here's the configure output of 102 that I'm running now...  every "gtk" entry is followed by "yes"...  Am I missing something else?

Once I built cvs122, loading CM gave this:
 WARNING **: plugin loading error: Your version of Claws Mail is newer than the version the 'GtkHtml2 HTML Viewer' plugin was built with.

Doh! Unloaded it and loaded Fancy and printing works now -- without html2ps...
