Hi

I have a problem with the printing of gimp 2.0pre3 (german). If i like to print any picture hangs 
the job in the queue and blocks other jobs. A cancel removes the job from the queue but if i call 
# ps aux|grep lp 
i see a task from this job and it always blocks other printjobs. only after 
#kill -9 pid
is the queue free for new jobs.
I called the support from turboprint because i think its an bug in turboprint. But they say its a 
buggy translation from floating point numbers in the postscript level 2 driver from gimp 1.3 and 
also 2.0pre. The C compiler "translates" the floating point dots to ploating point commas in the 
german version. 
Here ist the complete original answer.:
Zu GIMP 2.0: Probleme mit Gimp 1.3beta sind bekannt (fehlerhafte Postscript 
Level 2 Ausgabe von Gimp).
Die Fehlermeldung im Logfile läßt leider noch auf das gleiche Problem 
schließen:
Fließkommazahlen mit Dezimalkomma statt Dezimalpunkt bringen Ghostscript 
durcheinander.

Die Ursache ist die "Lokalisierung" der Fließkommazahlen durch den 
C-Compiler, Abhilfe ist evtl. das Umschalten der Sprache von Deutsch auf 
Englisch.

The problem is actually in gimp-print, not in GIMP. And it has been
fixed in gimp-print 4.2.6.
