 Since you are so knowledgeable, maybe you can tell my good friend where she
 can get a suse version of gimp 2.6.7?? We have looked everywhere.

First, in most distributions, upgrading to a more recent version of any 
program should be possible using the installation tools of this distribution - 
which yould be yast in case of suse. Please read the manuals of your 
distribution on how to upgrade packages for that distribution using the 
distributions' tools.

Secondly, if this is not possible, you could try and have a look at
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=gimp
Sadly, the list there is not ordered by version, but I found 2.6.7 on top of 
page 2 - and the current version (2.6.8) is also available from that site.

[Gimp-user] giimp printing incorrectly

2010-03-22 Thread Helen
I've been without a printer for some time, and I finally bought on Saturday.
HP Officejet 7000 wide format.
Gimp will print fine on regular letter-size paper, but when I try to print
a 9 x 12 photo on 11x17 paper, it prints only a part of the picture,
leaving half the page blank.  I've set all the page setup features that
I can find which might be relevant.  Set to centered.
But it keeps putting out these expensive sheets of photopaper with
the photo only half there, printing only on one (leading edge) of the
paper.
The print preview feature doesn't work.  When I click Print Preview,
it flashes quickly, less than a second.
Using gimp 2.6.2 on Suse 11.1
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

and
I have  hplip-3.9.8-9.5  .Should I be using gutenprint instead?
Thanks,

 Helen,

 What OS are you using?  Are you sure you have the latest drivers for
 whatever system it is?

You could start by using an updated version. Not sure if there are any
relevant fixes, but 2.6.2 is really very very outdated. Try to get your
hands on 2.6.8 and a recent version of GTK+.
