qtcups? That's the cups printing gui. Shouldn't you use the inline version: lpr-cups? Changing it to qtcups, does what I would expect, and calls the gui. It's redundant. What's interesting is that gimp never seems to pass the print off to the printer. It does the pre-processing, then ... nothing. it just never goes anywhere. There HAS to be something really simple wrong. > > I'm not sure of the other packages (GIMP rulez!:)) but I know Staroffice > handles .tif images well --so if you've got it installed you could use that. > I always use it's vector graphics capabilties to 'lay out' printable pages > with multiple graphics on them.

I like gimp, and it would just be nice if I could get it to print. -- Ric Tibbetts Linux registration number: 55684 If you want to help advertise Linux - point your friends to http://counter.li.org/
