A minor print bug.

Hello,

I've just read in the blog, that everybody notices, how the Cienpaint
windows are not arranged properly on start-up. But I also never saw this
as a critical bug, while it would be one which everybody notices.

However I feel there is another bug which is more important to point
out, while development is still going on. I've been playing with the
print plug-in (of 0.25.0), and found that this plug-in works well in
practice. It just has the minor flaw, that it seems to fail sending an
'end-of-file' message, or an ~end-of-stream~ message when it's done.
I've observed this with the stock "Canon PIXMA MP150" drivers included
with Gutenprint2, and BTW I was using a network printer.

I also see this as a minor bug, because

1)   It works to reset the printer by hand (locally from in front of the
printer).
2)   Even if I don't reset the printer, it accepts the next print job.

But in principle, this printer would never go back into standby after
printing from Cinepaint, still expecting another page to be sent after
the last actual page has been printed and ejected.
It's just the sort of little quirk which can crop up. ;-)

As to: 'What is he doing with such a poor printer' :  I know !  :-)

Dirk
