Description

The printingdialog meanwhile shows system printers so this is working for me now. But trying to create a pdf file using the printing dialog shows only the "virtual file system, not the original. This is at least confusing

> This is an issue with Evolution currently not using portals. Upstream is aware of it. Currently the only workaround I can think of is printing email into PDF and then print them from a PDF viewer.

When printing to PDF, the output is not in the portal filesystem either. Any help on this?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by checking Evolution's upstream portal support and reproducing the printing-dialog PDF flow; done means printing to PDF exposes the original portal filesystem rather than only the virtual filesystem.
