-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Thank you for the perspective. It seems that the printing part of Gimp is a second-class citizen that doesn't have the refinement of the rest of Gimp. I have always seen Gimp as a Photoshop competitor, so I'm thinking what if my mother-in-law (or any other non-expert computer user) were using Gimp. Would she be able to print? Would she use it instead of buying Photoshop? I would like that answer to be yes.
