Title:
  Gimp: Print preview and printout are blank pages

Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP):
  Fix Released
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gimp” source package in Maverick:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  Using the gimp package from the 10.10beta, when I try to print an
  image, the output of the preview window is blank. I also notice that
  printing to pdf from Gimp using cups-gimp gives blank page output, the
  same as the preview.

  ProblemType: Bug
  DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10
  Package: gimp 2.6.10-1ubuntu3
  ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-20.29-generic 2.6.35.4
  Uname: Linux 2.6.35-20-generic i686
  Architecture: i386
  Date: Sun Sep 12 21:42:58 2010
  InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Netbook 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta i386 (20100902.1)
  ProcEnviron:
  LANG=en_US.utf8
  SHELL=/bin/bash
  SourcePackage: gimp

  Impact: Printing doesn't work from Gimp (all hardware) - a work around of using the gimp-gutenprint plugin and selecting the alternative print menus has been said to work.
  Justification for backport: It's a fairly basic feature that doesn't work, although not essential it does complicate the lives of users and is a regression.
  How the bug is addressed: The bug is fixed in upstream 2.6.11 (see gnome-bugs #631199)
  Patch: See comments 13, and 34 and is gimp git commit 6be41a6675007a0c7328453c654bcda5a2b875b0
  How to reproduce: Open an image in gimp, select print, select print preview  - the result is blank.
                                           select print, print to a printer - the result is blank.
  Regression potential: The changes are minimal changes to routines in the printing code; since this code is already broken the regression potential seems minimal.

  TEST CASE: 1) Open GIMP and open an image.
  2) Open the Print Preview
  3) Print the image.

  VERIFICATION DONE: The Print preview and printout should not be blank.
