Then I tried opening the file with the Gimp and printing it, even more disastrous, the Gimp did its own thing and simply sent Postscript to the printer and thus produced nothing useful at all except lots of wasted paper. My printers seem to be set up right for everything else on my Linux box, why did the Gimp not get that right?
You don't say which version of gimp you are using, but for gimp 2.X you possibly want to go to the print dialogue and click the "setup printer" button. In the bit where it says "command" you probably want to put -oraw as an option to the existing command.
On the other hand: as I understand it, the problem Chris has is that his printer is producing the postscript code as text, rather than the picture it represents. I had the same problem, and solved it by _removing_ the "-o raw" that Gimp had put there by default.
