Yes I am printing from the Gimp print dialog. And changing the printer in the printer setup does not affect the print command Gimp is choosing. And it is printing fine as I wrote in my original post. The only problem I have is that in the print job list every print job from Gimp has the name '(stdin)'. I would like the name of the printed file to appear there and from the lpr side this is done via the '-C' option. Now I need Gimp to insert the file name into the print command. So the print command specification in the printer setup should be something like 'lpr -C $filename' where Gimp is replacing $filename with the actual file name. BTW, I am printing through CUPS. I don't know whether CUPS' lpr differs from standard lpr. Matthias ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] install probs
You could also grab a new rpm from a mandrake contrib repository - there probably could be something more up to date for mandrake 10.0 But that won't give you GIMP2.2 anyway, neither will upgrading toMandrake 10.1. But building the GIMP from CVS on a mandrake 10.0 is not an authomatic task, but not too hard. Just try the ./configure scripts, note down what it says is missing, and install from most recent stable tarball, each required software (or from rpm, if there is a compatible version of said package) - the nice side of this is taht once you have everything in place, you can always easily build the latest GIMP.
