no print menu in Gimp

I've installed Gimp 1.2.4 on my ibook running Jaguar. Gimp seems to work fine but has no print menu and there is no print plug-in listed in the plug-in folder. I installed gimpprint 4.2.7 and ghostscript but still no menu. I take it Gimp doesn't automatically detect the plug-in. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Is there a particular reason for using GIMP 1.2 and not the 2.0.3 build (for example from http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/) ?

The Gimp.app build is very convenient but unfortunately it doesn't run on Jaguar. It probably builds from source, though... DarwinPorts might work.

Printing works for me with the current Gimp.app release on Panther, though someone else has reported not finding the print menu item. I'm not sure what factors might be involved there.

"port install gimp2" worked like a charm last time I tried. Unfortunately the port has not yet been updated, it is still at 2.0.1 :( I am Cc'ing the maintainer in the hope that he doesn't mind being reminded to update the portfile...

thanks for the suggestions. I tried installing with DarwinPorts on Jaguar but DarwinPorts only returned errors when I tried to install. I was told Jaguar didn't support images, so I went back to Fink and the older Gimp. Since my hard drive is nearly full, I've installed Fink (and Gimp) on an external drive. I've been able to use Gimp to open and manipulate images, but the only way to print has been to save the file and open it from another application (Preview). Gimp-print downloaded as an install image so it probably installed to the internal drive. Could that be the problem?

If the print plug-in is not in your plug-in search path (see Preferences), then GIMP can of course not see it.
