Gimp does not print on Maverick

[Phil Stone]

Binary package hint: gimp

Gimp 2.6.10 does not print at all on Ubuntu 10.10 because of a version conflict with Cairo.

Gimp 2.6.10 on Ubuntu 10.10 ejects blank pages without any graphical content.
I've confirmed this with both a desktop printer and an office laser printer.

The gimp guys know this, and released a fix intended for Ubuntu 10.10.
It was never included in the 10.10 release.

Please see... (near the bottom of that page as of this writing.)

For more.

There are a few other minor bug fixes in 2.6.11. Here's a list, though the ppa listed on the following
does not work, so right now there is no work around.

I confirm this bug on Ubuntu Maverick (i386). The bug is not present on Lucid, with the version of GIMP backported from maverick. Hence, it is most likely due to a conflict which is specific to Maverick.

Thanks for your bug report, this bug is already known as bug 636329. The bug is already in the process of being fixed, the patch should land in maverick-proposed rather soon.
