Our users (using Dell 9020 workstation's running CentOS6) are able to successfully print to our Lexmark T650n classroom printers from any application except gedit (version 2.28.4). Even root cannot print from gedit to these printers from those computers. However, our computers running RHEL on Dell 990's can successfully print from gedit to the same printers (the Lexmark T650n's). Since the printers function ok from other applications running on the Dell 9020's with CentOS (like nedit, OpenOffice, pdf's, etc.) there has to be something amiss with the combination of gedit, CentOS, and Dell 9020's. Is it CentOS and gedit that have problems, or Dell 9020's and gedit? Any ideas how to fix? Please advise.

My guess is how gedit uses printer versus how other applications use printer.

When you go to print preview do you see your source?

Nothing to do with brand of printer, system or OS since it does work correctly for every other application.

One old bug has this maybe for clues. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ps/+bug/570522

Normal instruction here.
"Printing To Paper

You can print your documents to paper using a local or remote printer. To print a file:

Select File ▸ Print ▸ General.

Select the desired printer from the list of printers available.

You can preview the file using Print Preview and once you are satisfied with the settings, click Print to send the file to printer.
