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.
