Bug Description

If I open an image with eog and choose print / print preview the output looks crappy. Same if I print the image on a printer.

Tried this with two different images (screenshots).

I'll attach two screenshots, the original image loaded in eog and the same image in eog's print preview.

I got the same output using your original image. When I use a jpg file from my digital camera the print preview looks fine.

http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19959 (gthumb) shows similar symptoms, might be gnomeprint related.

Hi,

I have the same problem with png files that comes from gnome-screeshot (black page printed) and on tiff files that we receive by mail.

Apparently this seem to be corrected as I can see here, but it seem to still happend on Edgy - eog 2.16.1-0ubuntu1.
