Bug Description

Binary package hint: tuxpaint

tuxpaint-1:0.9.20-2ubuntu1
tuxpaint-config-0.0.10-1
tuxpaint-data-1:0.9.20-2ubuntu1
tuxpaint-plugins-default-1:0.9.20-2ubuntu1
tuxpaint-stamps-default-2009.06.28-1

On a clean install of Karmic (System76 factory), I tried holding down the ALT key when printing, and I used tuxpaint-config-0.0.10-1 to set "always show printer dialog" but neither actually show the printer dialog, whether tuxpaint is in full screen or windowed.

$ cat ~/.tuxpaintrc
# Generated by tuxpaint-config version 0.0.10
fullscreen=yes
altprint=always

Expected: I should get a printer options dialog when printing from tuxpaint
Actual: default settings used with no dialog, no matter how I try

Do you get printer dialogs with other programs?

Yes. Firefox, OpenOffice Writer, Eye of Gnome and gedit: "File, Print" *all* result in printer dialogs as expected.

Note that the default behavior of tuxpaint is to Just Print, using the defaults, which makes sense given the target audience. The problem here is that my default is black and white, but my kids want their color pictures to print out in color. That requires the printer dialog box to over-ride the default. I want the default to stay B&W since 90% of what is printed from the PC does not need to waste expensive color toner.
