Check your gimp print packages. My desktop machine went bad a while ago -- gimp wouldn't print anytyhing (lp would warn about no data on stdin) and galeon would spit out blank pages (at least for the pictures I tried to print). Then one time I tried the laptop from work and it (gimp) printed just fine. I checked the package list and found that my desktop machine had some extra wacky versioned gimp print package. I removed it and gimp could then print just like it used to. -D
