Prints text, not image
Hi
I am getting Epson Stylus COLOR 1520 set up for first time.
I am using gimp 2.2.8 with Fedora Core 3.
I scanned image , and saved as jpeg. It prints out as pages of text. No
image. I get the same kind of result if I draw rectangles filled w/color
in gimp. I also drew the same rectangles using Open Office.Org Draw.
The 1520 printed them OK. Gimp did print the images as images, not text
at first. I then had to do a lot of work cleaning the print heads. Now I
just get text, not image.
For example:

I now get pages and pages of text at this point]
I used the cups utility at http://localhost:731 to kill the job. I have
even turned the printer off, disonnected it from the computer and power
overnight, and shutdown the computer and restarted it with the same results
