Posted this on the dead forum (why is it still there if it's dead?):
I mentioned this a year ago, but the problem is still there so I thought I'd shake the bushes a bit: My Canon MG5220 printer doesn't work with GIMP. It works flawlessly with every other application I have on my Debian stable distro. As I've read elsewhere on the web, you do your modifications to an image in GIMP, then you save it and use another app to print it. Really?
The printer does nothing at all except that the little activity screen says that information is being received but nothing physical happens. It's exactly the same with Gutenprint or the 'normal' print. Can't this be fixed guys? Every other app prints to the Canon without any trouble. As it is, for simple work I'm now using fotoxx which prints fine, but I'd rather be using GIMP.
