How to separate layers

My first Gimp project - make a menu with four different layers, one text, one colored page, a fuzzy border and a clear background. I printed it and loved it. Then I saved it as an XCF file. Now when I open it in The Gimp, it only has one layer. Can I get the original four back, and if so, how? (I'd like to add more text with a different font, etc.)

Thanks

You should first save as XCF and then print. And now I'm afraid, you'll have to do it again from a scratch. Practice makes perfect;)

You mean that the print plugin flattens the original image? Is there a bug filed for that?

In my Linux system, the multiple layers remain on save after printing. What OS are you using?
