Correct, although a properly configured printer system of any kind (lp,
lprng, cupsys) should be able to handle most image types already.

Agreed, Gimp is a wonderful tool, but definitely overkill if you just want to
view them.
If you're a console guy (and have framebuffer set up), fbi is a cool program
to just view a picture without having to start X.
kview, or konqueror if you run KDE. xv is simple and nice (though I haven't
seen it in unstable lately.) And gqview is awesome if you have a large
collection of images you want to view/organize. (It even manages collections
and supports finding of duplicate images!)

I'm sure there are many more, but the above are what I use regularly. Anyone
else with suggestions?
