	Don't know about gimppint, but have tried CUPS and completely
manage to screw printing. it looks as if it might be fine for parallel
port connected printers, but everything else is just awkward to do.

	However, I am prepared to be rebutted. I tried the Debian
version and got really confuesd. I couldn't get the lpr replacement to
work, and in fact, I couldn't print at all.

	Oh, well
