GIMP in Mint 10 (Julia) won't print [SOLVED]

[adam933]

Printing in Gimp in Mint 9 (Isadora) works fine.
Everything seem fine until the tab with the preview comes up - it is blank.

If I go ahead and print, the printer takes in the paper, prints nothing, and then ejects it.

F-spot just exits when I try to print.

The printer (HP-F4480) works fine with text.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like the known upstream bug in Ubuntu 10.10 --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/636329

Thanks to mads and Carl, I found the fix on Dave Gilbert's "gimpfixes" page.

Just add the ppa to your sources, update sources, and do a mintupdate.

GIMP now previews and prints normally.

Thanks again for the help (this forum is such an amazing source).
