Others have reported this problem, and now it seems I have it.
I cannot print using either GIMP's built in print function, or gutenprint.
Attempting to print photoquality on 4x6 paper.
I suspect this is really a maverick problem and not a GIMP problem, because it works in Lucid, and in Aptosid.
The problem seems to be that I cannot set the print paper size. Trying to set it in GIMP's internal print function, it loses the setting immediately. File > Page Setup, there are two devices listed, "Any Printer - for portable docuemnts" and Network_Printer (my actual printer). Network_printer defaults to US letter size; if I try to change it, hit apply, then go back into the dialog, it is reset to us letter size. Attempting to print just produces a blank sheet.
In gutenprint, The paper size dialog is messed up. When I choose 4x6 photo or index card from the dropdown, the 8.5x11 size remains in the fillin boxes. If I change them th 4 and 6, it resets immediately to 8.5 and 11. Trying to print produces an error message from the printer, saying wrong paper size.
Photoprinter crashes; my printer is not listed in its dropdown menu of printers, and if I put the ppd file in, it just crashes when trying to print.
gnome-photoprint does not produce satisfactory quality prints.
OOo does not produce photo quality prints.
So I got a problem here - can't print photo quality at all.
It worked last week, don't know why it's hosed now. There was an hplip update, as I recall.
Any ideas?
Edit: Problem is a bug in gimp-2.6.10. Was able to download 2.6.11 from getdeb; printing is working properly now.
