For the archive:
My print procedures broke, too. Gschem fails on the "paper-size" line I
had in my gschemrc since ages. The print command set in gschemrc to
produce PDF output via CUPS-PDF did not work anymore, either. Instead of
a print dialog I got a backtrace in the log window.

Cite from src/geda-gaf/NEWS:
  "'gschem' now uses a standard GTK print dialog"

---> Yay for gschem devs!!
Finally, a familiar print dialogue in gschem!
No more raised eyebrows, when newbies I teach geda basics try to print
their first schematics. Plus printing will work on every desktop that
has a print system enabled. No more need to make sure, CUPS-PDF is
installed...

Release notes of geda 1.9 should contain a large and friendly warning
about the change. Distros like Debian should offer a note on update.
Would it be possible to catch the presumably common stumbling blocks me
and Enoch hit?
