Well I wish I were as savvy as you Norbert. But I'm somewhat new to Linux and and 
brand new to
Gentoo Linux. Thanks for your suggestions.

All files are in place and emerged. The only thing I can't do right now is get Gimp to 
bring up a
"print" command selection. So printing is working for the most part. Just not from the 
Gimp. I'm
just not given a selection to print directly from the Gimp.

Does this sound familar to anyone. I've looked on the forum, I've looked at 
linuxprinting.org and
I'm continuing to search google. Seems like it would be something that someone has run 
into
before. I find that most of the questions or issues that I run into are fairly simple. 
Its just a
matter of finding the info. This seems to be a whole new talent in its self. Heh..

Thanks,
JBanks
