Seems that here we have more than one bug:
1. Make sure that you ahve installed all updates. There were other printing-related bugs in Intrepid.
2. If you get nothing out of the printer if you print in large format and/or high resolution, take Poppler from -proposed. See bug 311982. Report your success or failure in that bug report.
3. GTK 2.0 has a bug in the GUI for placing an image file on the page for printing. Everyone who sees a broken dialog for sizing and placing the image on the page (up to now users of f-spot, eog. or GIMP with the original printing dialog), please continue discussion in this bug.
4. The CUPS filter chain cannot print a document with the document's page size. It prints only with the paper size given by the user or with the print queue's default paper size. Applications output PostScript or PDF and these data formats contain page size information in absolute measures for each page they are containing, so it must be possible to print them in original size. This problem is discussed in bug 310575. Anyone for whom the printing dialog is OK but on the printout the image is not correctly placed on the page (up to now users of digikam and of the Gutenprint dialog of GIMP reported this), try to follow the instructions in my last 3 or 4 comments of bug 310575 and report your results there.
