Cannot print from Gimp

I am running Gimp 2.6.4 from Windows XP. If I try to print a 4 x 6 photo, setup selections to not stick for paper size/orientation. I select 4 x 6 in my Canon i960's setup dialog, and the preview window shows that 4 x 6 paper is selected. I can scale the photo to fit 4 x 6, but, when I click the button to actually print the picture, my Canon's preview window shows a 4 x 6 image in the upper left hand corner of an 8.5 x 11 page preview. If I press the button to complete the print job, the photo will "fall-off" the physical media (it's not printed in the proper position).

My work around for now is to use another application for printing (CS4, Sony's Image Data Converter, etc.).

Is this a bug or some other problem?

Thanks.

Known bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505123

If you have some coding experience, we'd appreciate help from a developer on Windows to solve this issue.

But Gimp on all OSs does have issues with printing and that is Gimp's achilles heal.

Printing works perfectly for me on Linux. If there are issues, then I'd like to know about them. Most likely it will turn out that the issue is not in GIMP, but in your printer driver. But if there are issues in the GIMP Print plug-in, or in the GtkPrint framework, then it is important that these are reported. You might even get your hands dirty yourself and look at the source code and try to fix them. After all this is Free Software and we give you the source code exactly for this purpose.
