Why does kde not print images


Hi

Ok after the long haul I finally got hold of an old hp laserjet 4l that works quit well.
I installed the printer using cups and find that openoffice prints fine I can print from the commandline using lp* commands and all is well, until I try to print an image using gimp or any of the other imaging programs, there seems to be a problem when I try to print through kde especially if I open an image in kde konqueror browser and try to print it

This is the error that I get

The MIME type application/postscript is not supported as input of the filter chain (this may happen with non-CUPS spoolers when performing page selection on a non-PostScript file). Do you want KDE to convert the file to a supported format?

After I say yes I get a choice of a few filters but upon selecting them they all fail.

Now if I use the commandline and say lp image01.jpg it will print fine

What do I need to do tho get kde or gimp to print images ??

Thanx

go to the control center under peripherals>printers and change the print system (bottem right corner) to cups. Its a shot in the dark, but see if that helps
