The evince print dialogue no longer works in 3.28.5_13. Previously I had 3.28.5_8, but I cannot explain why the former worked and the latter does not. I updated the rest of ports at the same time, so it is possibly some other dependency that is the root cause (gtk3 seems most likely). Regardless, attempting to print a PDF produces no user visible response. On a console, the following message is printed: (evince:90654): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:01:28.786: GtkPrintOperation::create-custom-widget not supported with portal It seems that GTK has invented some sandboxing mechanism called "portals," and evince now runs in this mode (or something like that). The mechanism is supposed to have a print service listening on DBUS, provided by the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk software. Unfortunately, we do not seem to have xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in FreeBSD ports at this time, and evince (gtk?) is missing a dependency on that service.

I upgraded evince to a recent version can you check if it fixes the issue for you ?
I think it's less an evince thing than a missing xdg portal port? But I can give it a try. BEFORE $ evince --version GNOME Document Viewer 3.28.5 $ pkg info evince evince-3.28.5_18 Name : evince Version : 3.28.5_18 Installed on : Tue Sep 22 17:11:45 2020 PDT Same problem: (evince:79397): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:20:04.151: GtkPrintOperation::create-custom-widget not supported with portal I do not see a newer pkg yet, although there's a newer one in ports. Ok, let's try that (default config). AFTER $ pkg info evince evince-3.36.7 Same thing: (evince:82994): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:39:48.886: GtkPrintOperation::create-custom-widget not supported with portal Again, I think the thing we're missing here is xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, not an evince update.
