Many users were surprised to find out that, after upgrading to Maverick, GIMP no longer prints out photographs, but instead prints out blank pages. Fortunately, I have found the fix to this, which shall land in Maverick through update-manager in a few weeks.
Instructions to get the fix (for the impatient)
Since ‘waiting for a few weeks for an annoying bug to be fixed’ is difficult for you and me, I have created a PPA and uploaded the fixed version of GIMP to the PPA.
To install the fixed version of gimp, run the following commands in a terminal one after the other:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bilalakhtar/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
The PPA contains only the ‘gimp’ package, and I have tested the fix well, hence there are no chances of ‘horrible things happening’.
