Comment 31 for bug 310854

GIMP (original printing dialog, "File"/"Print" has exactly the same problem as eog, but in addition, the preview shows only the upper left corner of the picture (the print job contains the full picture). So as in eog a very small-sized PDF is sent to CUPS. The sent attributes, especially the paper size attribute are correct, as with eog.

With GIMP one can still print, by using the Gutenprint dialog ("File"/"Print with Gutenprint"). This works also for printers which are not explicitly supported by the Gutenprint printer driver. It is enough if the printer is able to print with CUPS. In the dialog you have to configure each printer which you want to use. Click "New Printer", then enter a name for the printer in the Gutenprint dialog. After that click "Setup Printer". Choose manufacturer and model for Gutenprint-supported printers. For other printers and also for HP inkjets choose "Adobe" and "PostScript Level 2". If you have chosen "Adobe" and "PostScript Level 2", choose the PPD file of the print queue in the "PPD File:" field. You find the PPD in /etc/cups/ppd/. Then choose "Standard Command" and select the name of your CUPS print queue. Click OK. Now set the options in the main dialog and click "Save Settings" at the bottom.

From now on you only need to select you printer in the Gutenprint dialog and you can print.
