Install gimp-print with "WITH_CUPS" defined. Turn on your printer and make sure the USB cable is in. Start cups. Browse to localhost:631 and go to the add printer section. Add a USB printer and if you installed gimp-print with cups support you should be able to choose the correct printer from the list. Happy Printing. :) Chris
