Problem with printing postscript

Lo list

I have a problem with printing into postscript file thus also with printing onto my 2 postscript printers within gimp 2.4.1.

Printing postscript into portrait format results in a displaced and distorted ps file (looks like chessboard with displaced fields). While printing into landscape format, however, I'm getting just a blank page out of the 20mb big postscript file. Nothing inside to be seen with any postscript viewer.

Printing into pdf file works w/o any problems.

Installed gimp packages:

gimp-help-0.9-45 gimp24-2.4.1-0.pm.1
libgimpprint-4.2.7-101
gimp-cmyk-0.3-50
gimp24-doc-2.4.1-0.pm.1
gimp24-devel-2.4.1-0.pm.1
libgimpprint-devel-4.2.7-101
ufraw-gimp-0.11-5.1

I'am using the source rpm for SUSE 10.x from packman repository: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.2/src/gimp24-2.4.1-0.pm.1.src.rpm

The distribution is Opensuse 10.2.

Is this a Gimp bug or shall I check for problems in the src rmp and its compatibility patch inside the rpm?

Any feedback much appreciated. Cheers
J.
