The standard printer spooler (lpr) only recognizes a couple of ancient file types (dvi, ditroff etc). It dumps the input that it gets to a printer, without formatting it for a certain printer. That is the job of a spooler. I would suggest that you install the "cups" printer spooler in combination with the "gutenprint" printer driver. If you have those installed correctly, you should be able to select your printer from the gimp, and it should Just Work.=20 You might also need the 'ppd' file for your printer from http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=3DHP-DeskJet_9800. This file tells gutenprint what the capabilities of the printer are.
