solution for check printing problem!

[Greg Woods]

Finally, I have something positive to contribute. I recently reported 
that the out-of-the-box GnuCash install on Red Hat 7.2 went smoothly and 
mostly works well, with the exception that trying to print checks causes 
an immediate segfault. One other person reported the same problem on 
SuSE 7.3. Someone else said he had tracked this as far as an assertion 
failure in the gnome-print package.

It occurred to me that perhaps this is a bug in Red Hat's gnome-print 
package rather than in GnuCash. GnuCash is the only application I 
personally use that uses gnome-print. It looks like gnumeric also uses 
it, but I've got Applixware so I don't use gnumeric. So what I did was 
to go to the Ximian site at ftp.ximian.com and download *their* packages 
for gnome-print and libgnomeprint15. And it worked! I just installed 
these two packages with "rpm -Fvh", and now I can print checks again!

I'd love to know if this works for the SuSE guy too.
