Hello,
I've run into a problem with printing from Eclipe. The menu item under
File-->Print is disabled and I have not found any way of enabling it. I'm
running Eclipse 3.0.2 in Fedora Core 3. I cannot print under any
perspective. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am no expert on this but from a previous post:
=============
Afaik there are only limited printing support for Linux.
From the SWT Faq:

Q: Why is the Print menu item disabled in Eclipse on Motif?
A: Printing on Motif requires that Xprint be installed on your machine.
A good FAQ regarding Xprint can be found at
http://xprint.mozdev.org/docs/Xprint_FAQ.html

Q: Why is the Print menu item disabled in Eclipse on GTK?
A: Printing on GTK has not been implemented yet. You can use the External
Tools support in Eclipse to print files using lpr or some other printing
utility.
