Yes, it will be using libgnomeprint(ui) if you have it installed by default. I don't have any of printer, so it's hard for me to help but I will trying to find something if it's possible to fix by my guess. > Best regards, > > Mikkel C. Simonsen > > > Mikkel C.

I don't remember if new AbiWord 2.2.x required new GTK or else, so if you can't get it install then you will have to follow up in the /usr/ports/UPDATING.
