I print pictures on my HP LJ6P good since I installed the
gimp1.2-print package. You might have good luck with
ijsgimpprint - Inkjet Server - Ghostscript driver for Gimp-Print
This package contains the ijsgimpprint binary which provides
Ghostscript with a Gimp-Print driver, including all printers
supported by Gimp-Print.
.
This is Gimp-Print version 4.2.5, a stable release in
the 4.2 line.
.
Gimp-Print is the print facility for the Gimp, and in addition a
suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems
using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality
for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in
many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing
tasks.
Happy Holidays!
