-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I guess I created a fuss on the gimp-users mailing list a couple of weeks ago. Now, I want to ask some questions about the state of Gimp printing and its future direction. It seems as though there are now two options to print with Gimp: the gutenprint plugin and the native printing. The native printing does not appear to work properly either on Windows or Linux. Are there plans to improve this? Can Gutenprint be made to be a dependency? Are there efforts to add CUPS support directly to Gutenprint? In my opinion, taking the CUPS functionality of the current native Gimp printing and integrating that into Gutenprint would be the best option. This would work with any CUPS-configured printer since Gutenprint can be configured to print PostScript and CUPS provides the PPD. Once this is done, Gutenprint can be made a dependency of Gimp (as it was before with gimp-print). I have used Gimp nearly since its inception and I'm quite a fan. As a software engineer, my motivation is to try to help to improve Gimp to make it better. Although I am quite busy, I may be able to make some time to donate to an improvement of printing under Gimp.
