I'm running FC3 and Gimp 2.2.4 and can not print from Gimp, instead of the expected image I get what looks like a set of text instructions to the printer?
Beginning with: %!PS-Adobe-3.0
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Can you print other postscript documents? Has your printer been configured to deal with postscript documents?
I always had the same problem, both with older GIMP 1.x and LPD and/or CUPS, and newer GIMP 2.x, I tried it on RedHat 7.3, 8.0, 9, FC1, FC2 and FC3.
The only solution I found is to print to .ps file first, view it in GV and print from there. GIMP produces v3.0 Postscript files, GV converted it to a more printer- (or printfilter?) friendly v2.0 Postscript file...
The printer(s) I tried were not PS capable (I tried HP Laserjets and
compatibles, DeskJets, a Canon BJC-250, etc), so a printer driver always processed the file first. Same error: direct printing from GIMP was not
successful.
