Hello #!ers
Up to date Statler 10
I recently noticed that I can't print from GIMP (think i must've printed something in the last 2 months).
This is on both PC & ideapad.
Printing OK with other apps, ooffice, hp device manager, gtklp etc....
& GIMP printing OK with a live openSUSE on usb.
I've just installed gutenprint & this does print, but the normal GIMP print option, goes through all usual processes,
ie progress bar & the paper through the printer, but nothing printed, also print preview & print to PDF, blank result.
No clues on either Debian or GIMP sites.
Has anyone any ideas?

Just tried printing something from both Inkscape and GIMP, and each worked.
The only thing I can think of is that if you didn't run the Cups installer in the "cb-welcome" script, there might be something missing there...

Thanks for reply merelyjim.........
thats whats so odd Cups seems OK, & GIMP is talking to the printer
the paper just feeds through, together with a blank output from print preview,
print to file & PDF makes me think its something else missing for my GIMP.
I've done a complete remove & install of GIMP on both machines, but still no
output from the normal print option.
I am an avid app installer, just a hint of a recommend & I'm in synaptic
(quite a shock when I open an XFCE session, all those things in the menu, alt-menu a great hider of stuff)
so perhaps there's some conflict or been a removal of something.
GIMP-gutenprint works as do other printing apps, so not a huge problem, will keep probing,
& probably it will resolve itself over time with GIMP updates.

The problem seems to be caused by a new version of libcairo2 pulled in by Iceweasel 4. Here is a cross reference to my post at the #! Forums thread Objections to Iceweasel 4.0 packages?.

I never use smilies, but there are exceptions that prove the rule

Now i know, why inkscape (linux) wouldn't print yesterday, so i had to use inkscape (windows) instead ...
Will try tomorrow again. Thanks for your observations!

( I did have a poke in Debian Bugs, I'll have to search better next time,
not that I would have known what to do ).
