Bug Description
Binary package hint: gimp
Using the gimp package from the 10.10beta, when I try to print an image, the output of the preview window is blank. I also notice that printing to pdf from Gimp using cups-gimp gives blank page output, the same as the preview.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10
Package: gimp 2.6.10-1ubuntu3
ProcVersionSign
Uname: Linux 2.6.35-20-generic i686
Architecture: i386
Date: Sun Sep 12 21:42:58 2010
InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Netbook 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta i386 (20100902.1)
ProcEnviron:
LANG=en_US.utf8
SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: gimp
Impact: Printing doesn't work from Gimp (all hardware) - a work around of using the gimp-gutenprint plugin and selecting the alternative print menus has been said to work.
Justification for backport: It's a fairly basic feature that doesn't work, although not essential it does complicate the lives of users and is a regression.
How the bug is addressed: The bug is fixed in upstream 2.6.11 (see gnome-bugs #631199)
Patch: See comments 13, and 34 and is gimp git commit 6be41a6675007a0
How to reproduce: Open an image in gimp, select print, select print preview - the result is blank.
Regression potential: The changes are minimal changes to routines in the printing code; since this code is already broken the regression potential seems minimal.
TEST CASE: 1) Open GIMP and open an image.
2) Open the Print Preview
3) Print the image.
VERIFICATION DONE: The Print preview and printout should not be blank.

I can confirm this behavior, both the empty preview and the empty printed pdf.
Have you tested printing against an actual printer?
