how to print dilbert comics



Sometimes I'd like to print a dilbert comic and share with someone who
wouldn't go look on the web.

Galeon does a good job of loading the image and displaying it
on-screen, but when I print it comes out a little too wide and gets
cut off on the right (us-letter paper).  I can print to a file, but it
has the same problem.  I can specify "-o landscape" to 'lp' but then
the whole top of the comic is cut off (the bottom left of the paper is
the postscript origin, and the paper is shorter in landscape).  

A solution might be to save the image, load it with gimp and then
print.  That is fine by me, except when I get "lp: stdin empty".  Gimp
won't print anything at all.  I even checked the gimp1.2-print package
version and grabbed the latest from sid (4.2.0-1.1).  I have the
latest gimp also (1.2.2-2.1).

Any suggestions?
