The gimpprint package is only the GIMP plugin for printing (the printing
dialog for GIMP). The printer driver called GIMP-Print (mainly used for
Epson and Canon inkjets) is in the libgimpprint package. The interface
of this driver to GhostScript is ijsgimpprint, which is in the
printer-filters package. printerdrake takes care that the ghostscript,
printer-filters, and libgimpprint packages are installed.
So you do not need to have GIMP installed to use an Epson or Canon
inkjet printer.

Hi
is it necessary for gimpprint to require gimp? I thought it would have
been the other way around?
also, why does kdevelop require gimp?
