I'm in a real hurry so every working solution seems to be fine with me :-)
I found the test automation tool xdotool which enabled me to send Return
keypress to the window. There were problems getting the window id, but this
script finally did the trick.
#!/bin/sh
gimp -i -b "(script-fu-quick-print \"$1\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" &
xdotool search --sync --class print
xdotool search --onlyvisible --name Print | xargs -I {} -n 1 xdotool key
--window {} Return
This is quite ugly, but it works, and now I can move forward.
