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.
For example mine says :-
lp -s -dQueue -oraw
(-s supresses messages about job id, -dQueue means print to the printer called Queue)
Ah, now this sounds like more like it. I am running Gimp 2.x.
I'll do some experimenting, thanks.
