Load an image in GIMP 2. Try to print it 3. Try to select EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1290 as printer Additional info: gimp-print is already used by cups in skipjack. Using gimp-print adds full support for several new printers. This bug makes it much more difficult to get top quality output from these printers from gimp.
gimp-print support is included for LPRng-based printing as well.
