Bug Description
Binary package hint: xword
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 I am unable to print crosswords from xword. Whenever I try, a dialogue box pops up with the message
Printing libraries are not installed. Please install the Python wrapper for gnomeprint.
However, aptitude tells me that the package python-gnomeprint does not exist. What package is required and why isn't it installed as a dependency?

I believe the python-gnomeprint package needed for printing in xword has been removed from Ubuntu in 10.10. The package has been deprecated for a while. Because the dependency is only a suggests, you were still able to upgrade without any dependency issues.
You may be out of luck for printing until xword is updated to use the GTK+ printing bindings. I know the xword developer is working on that change now, but it won't be available in Ubuntu until at least the next release (11.04).
Sorry,
