Mepis and GIMP Printing


Does anyone know why I am not able to print from the gimp program in mepis 3.3 ? I can do all the editing in gimp, but when I go to the print screen, first I have to turn off the border so that I can even see the "print" button, then after clicking "print" the printer begins to spit out a bunch of blank pages. The first page has something about Adobe 3.0 and something about a Gimp-Print plugin. It will continue to spit out blank pages until i cancel the printing or it runs out of paper. I tried a PPD file for my printer(an HP Photosmart 7350) in /etc/cups/ppd but that didn't help. The printer works with other programs, and will even print a photo from Open Office Draw. Thanks in advance for any help. I really like Mepis, but I need to use gimp and to print photos.

Problem solved

Problem solved, removed the "-oraw" from the end of the printer command line, and then pointed the PPD to /etc/cups/ppd.

To see the print buttons, hold down Alt on the keyboard and press and hold the left mouse button and drag the window up.

Thank You grc2012, I did find that fix on the Mepis Lovers forum. Wonder why that window is so big and why there isn't any way to reduce it's size? it's kind of annoying to have to keep moving it.
