Hello people. I just compiled and installed Gimp 2.4.3, and it seems to be working fine. Except that the two scripts I once made didn't work anymore. I believe I succeeded in correcting the differences for TinyScheme, but in one of the scripts there seems to be a different bahaviour with the layer

[Gimp-user] Gimp and printing

Though this may be a printer driver issue, I thought I'd ask first here. Since I installed Gimp 2.4.4, the printer (HP1022) appears in the print dialog, but is marked with "printer fault!" and doesn't print. I have CUPS (1.3.6) installed, and the system does print normally from all other programs.
