Printing from xffm gives two errors and nothing prints.

Description Will Lepofsky 2005-01-13 22:05:48 CET
When trying to print from xffm two errors come up:

1. client-error-bad-request
2. An error occured

After that nothing prints.  This occurs weither you use the print button or left
click then selecting print.  If you try to print again, xfprint4 just locks up
and you have to kill it.

However, Xfprint4 does work by dragging the file to the Xfce Panel Xfprint4
button, so I know xfprint4 is not the problem.

Also, I enabled Verbose diagnostics in prefrences. When I try to print something
it prints the following information out in the text window of xffm:

$chdir /home/will/Documents/receipts/personal
$xfprint4
$chdir /home/will

Then the xfprint4 window comes up.  Unfortunately no extra information comes up
and of course the same problem persists.

Now when I open a gif file the text window prints out the following:

$chdir /home/will/Documents
$gimp-remote-2.0 -n coupon2.gif
$chdir /home/will

Then gimp opens the file.

So it appears that the print command from xffm does not include the filename for
printing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open xffm
2. Try printing a postscript file with either the print button or left click the
select print

Actual Results:  
Two errors occur:

1. client-error-bad-request
2. An error occured

Expected Results:  
Print the postscript file with no errors.

Gentoo Linux 2004.3

Right. The problem appears to be when you select a file and then press either
the toolbar or sidebar print button. If you use the menu option, or drag and
drop a file to the toolbar/sidebar button, xfprint fires up ok.

Eliminated the drag and drop to the button, as that was the cause for the
selected file not being sent to the xfprint command. Applied same changes to
HEAD branch.
