Can you take me >though exactly you are doing in each case? I mean I print to the cups's queue configured with the PPD [1]. No filter. As I understood when I use Gutenprint from Gimp, it processes the data and then send it to the queue. [1] http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9320_2_GPL.ppd.gz&lang=English_gpl Do you know this printer ? Please note that when I print (this particularly big image (*)) with Gimp directly to the queue, the job fails : the printer stops and cries about "memory error". (*) ImageMagick tells me: PNG 4440x6240 4440x6240+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 125.2MB 4.220u 0:04.379 ---> this problem is indeed the reason I tried Gutenprint ;) If we could also discuss about that :) Note also that my queue is working correctly for other documents (ooffice, scribus, ...). >> When setting up Gutenprint parameters (launched via Gimp), I've strange >> messages until I change the command line "lp -s -d 'laserjet'" to something >> more sensible "lp"...
