Re: [newbie] .....S.....l.....o.....w..... Printing in The GIMP
I found the problem! It seems that the printer was set up to use CUPS+GIMP Print, rather than GhostScript+GIMP Print as I thought. I switched it to GS+Gimp and it works fine now.

I managed to get it to work by printing through KPrinter. Everything seems to be working fine now.
