GIMP is an exception under the application programs. It's printing
facility is directly linked to the Gutenprint driver library and
therefore you have to configure it for your printer. If your printer is
in the list of printer models listed in GIMP's printing dialog, it is
explicitly supported by Gutenprint. Choose the model entry and leave the
"-oraw" in the printing command. Then the GIMP dialog does all job
processing and not the printing system. This gives you many more
possibilities to adjust the appearance of the output. If your printer is
not listed, choose "PostScript Level 2" and remove the "-oraw" from the
printing command. Then GIMP behaves as the other applications. It sends
PostScript to the printing system and the printing system takes care to
convert the data into the printer's native language.
This is really not a bug. It is a feature of GIMP's architecture, so I
will close this report.
If you need an easy solution for printing pictures, have a log at image
managing/viewing tools like gThumb, digikam, flphoto, f-spot...

Printer drivers must be selected in GIMP independent of the rest of the system?
