Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gimp

GIMP 2.4 now uses GTK+'s print dialog. (See http://gimp.org/release-
notes/gimp-2.4.html ) This is very nice as the gimp-print plugin's
dialog is very confusing and sometimes acts weird with respect to CUPS.

The build in Ubuntu appears to not be compiled with support for the new
print dialog and only prints with gutenprint. I can confirm that the
nicer dialog exists in -rc3 from a build of it I made on my other
machine a while back. I'm pretty sure that build was compiled with
default configure options, but I don't have it recorded anywhere to
confirm. (I couldn't do it in Feisty because the repositories did not
wish to update from GTK+ 2.10.11 to 2.10.13 and GIMP 2.4 depends on the
latter due to bugs in the one shipped in Feisty.)

Anyway, could the package be compiled to include support for the new
dialog? It's a much more convenient and easy to use dialog than the
original messy gutenprint/gimp-print one.

(Incidentally, now that the final stable version of GIMP 2.4 is
released, will Ubuntu Gutsy get an updated package? The changes are just
bugfixes and the "Release Candidate" on the splash screen looks really
unpolished and unprofessional.)
