If you've recently updated Gimp, it's probably overwritten or removed your Gutenprint plugin and that may be your trouble there. Reinstall the gutenprint or drivers where the plugin will again be installed. I don't thing the Gimp developers move very fast with things, so haven't caught up to the new and better gutenprint drivers. Since they use Debian mostly, they still depend on gimpprint.
