(Image Window Menu: File| Print using a non-.xcf image; a *.xcf file just adds some unecessary complications to setting up). If Gimp-print has selected the PrintScript Level2 driver, click on the settings button. The last line in the setup popup dialogue is the command line. By default this line is "lpr -s -oraw". It doesn't work. Delete the "-oraw". After that close the print dialogue and you should be able to print. Less generic drivers are on the way, apparently. If that doesn't work, things can get complex with patches etc. Check Gutenprint. Gimp-print is in the process of changing its name to Gutenprint, so you can find lots of info under both names. http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ -- Regards Bill
