Or something else? If you have your printer working under cups, then I would think that gimp would print to it. I remember when I was using an HP2000c, it wasn't listed under gimp either, but I was able to install it there because I was able to use it with cups. Failing that, there are other programs you can use to print the adjusted jpg file, kuickshow is one, openoffice2.0.2 has several, kde has several besides kuickshow, gnome2 has several. Warner, I know you are expert on FreeBSD, and know you know your way around a computer at least as well as I do, if not better, I have several emails from you concerning ACPI, and you show up in various other lists that I belong to, so I know who you are. My question to you is: do you have some hidden reason for showing up on questions and acting like a newbie, or are you sincerely looking for help here. With the hand holding your asking for, I'm beginning to wonder. If you do in-fact, need the help, then you should know that without providing information, that you haven't been volunteering, we aren't going to get anywhere fast. Don
