Re: Re: PSC 1210 - can scan but can't print

I'm glad you've got things (mostly) working. To print with Gimp, you 
should install cupsys-driver-gimpprint, and a few other gimp printing 
packages, I can't remember all their names--maybe they're available 
on your RedHat installation cds. You should probably also install 
cupsys-bsd, which will make it easier for you to print in non-kde 
apps. 

Good luck.
