Bug Description

Subject says it all really. If you look at this image with the gnome image viewer or nautilus and I try to print it, it comes out as a full page of black (with a nice white border around the outside).

Using the gimp or one of the KDE image viewer programs and it works just fine.

I am running dapper with all the latest updates (as of about 5 minutes ago)

Thanks for your bug report. I'm not quite sure why you filed this on evolution though? It works nicely for me on edgy with gthumb, gimp and eog.

Erm... I tried not to (ie I set the radio button to "I don't know") and in evolution because I searched there last and also because that is where I first noticed the problem - I was trying to print the email and its attachment. I got the email fine and, instead of a map, I got a nice black rectangle the size of the jpg in question instead.

Also reading my post again (I read it twice before I posted it and still didn't really notice), I need to make it clear that this is a *printing* not a display problem.

For the record I have a Canon Pixma 4000 and turboprint drivers running under cups. I also feel a need (because I have had gnome / cups printing problems before) to mention that the gimp and kde programs (ie: non gnomeprint) print this jpeg just fine.
