The reason for all of these things is, I suspect, the fact that the gimp-print plugin that comes with gimp is quite old (4.0.x) compared to the version of gimp-print that the print spooling system uses (4.2.x). The current rawhide packages have fixed this, so you might have luck upgrading gimp and gimp-print. (Of course, rawhide packages aren't nearly as tested as formally released packages, so your mileage may vary.) Checking the list of known printers here, the BJC-3000 and -4300 are listed, but not the -4200 explicitly (but perhaps one of the close matches will work well). Alternatively, of course, you could print as 'PostScript Level 2', without needing to upgrade anything, and then the correct driver will be used. Of course, that won't fix the problem of failing to save settings. Tim. */
