I asked about this some time ago, and discovered that the problem is
with a buggy print.exe module in GIMP. It simply does not print in
Windows.
Another workaround is to get the winprint.exe module from GIMP 2.2.17
and put it in the same directory as print.exe, then rename print.exe to
something not.exe.
The winprint.exe module is *extremely* primitive. You can't position or
scale your image. You must do these things in the image itself.
Thus, it really is better to print in some other application.
That this bug was allowed through boggles the mind.
