All,
The 'problem' of gnucash not printing on a BSD system has been solved. I
noticed in the console output messages that /usr/local/bin/lpr was
refusing connections. Puzzling not just because it was refusing
connections but because lpr is part of FreeBSD's base system and therefore
should not have been in /usr/local/bin. Surprise surprise, there were two
lpr's; one in /usr/local/bin (which did refuse connections when I called
it to print some output), and another in /usr/bin which is the lpr used by
all my other correctly printing apps (so they printed fine.)
I renamed the refusnik and linked the proper lpr to that directory and
everything is fine now. Go figure. At some point in the past gnome made a
change in a lot of libs, going from /usr/X11R6/ to /usr/local/. Perhaps
this was part of that.
Apologies for the noise,
r
