1. Are you using gimp-print? and if so, which version? 2. Which version of ghostscript are you using?
gs 6.51 I did print from gimp just fine last night (font antialiasing is currently turned off in kde 2.2.2) ... my setup linux 2.4.17, xfree86 4.2, kde2.2.2, ghostscript 6.51, gnome-print 0.32-15 (from suse), gimp-print not installed?
You should be able to tell when you print from Advanced editor. The properties button then Advanced tab will tell you CUPS+gimp-print 4.x.x if you are.
just says HP DeskJet 932C, Foomatic + cdj550
I don't know if gimp-print is the best driver to use with a "cdj550". www.linuxprinting.org will help. I assume you changed to root before doing a "make install" on gimp-print 4.2.0.
Yes, did it as root. I'll check www.linuxprinting.org out, thanks.
So I take it that you are able to print from advanced editor/kmail without problems.
Yes, with and without antialiasing. (I usually have it turned off because I work at which substantially 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor, reduces the advantages of antialiasing.)
Pretty similar to what I use, 1280x1024 on a 19" monitor, The antialiasing seems to mainly make some web sites less ugly in Konq.
I have had problems very similar to what you describe when printing with CUPS, GS6.51 and one of the early 4.1.99b gimp-print drivers. This was when printing from StarOffice 5.2. I am using SuSE 7.3.
Note that gimp uses the gimp-print plugin without the CUPS or ghostscript drivers. That is, it prints directly to the printer and so is much more robust than printing through ghostscript. You may well have a version of gimp-print installed for gimp, but be using different drivers with CUPS and ghostscript.

Thanks John, I'm taking a short break from working out these problems, (getting to stressed about it) The info you sent gives me some things to look at. I'll let you know how things work out in a couple of days. Thanks again dh
