Gimp and printing

Though this may be a printer driver issue, I thought I'd ask first here.

Since I installed Gimp 2.4.4, the printer (HP1022) appears in the print dialog, but is marked with "printer fault!" and doesn't print. I have CUPS (1.3.6) installed, and the system does print normally from all other programs.

I have looked at newer versions of Gutenprint, but didn't find the HP1022 as supported. Do I need this newer driver? And why is the printer correctly detected, but marked as printer fault, while it works for the rest?

For now, I have been able to print to file first, then print with another program, but that's not very practical.

Thanks is advance! John

Since there are at least two different print plug-ins for GIMP 2.4, please tell us if you are using the "official" plug-in using the GTK+ Print user interface (which is also used in most other GTK+ and GNOME applications) or the plug-in from the Gutenprint project?

It would also be useful if you could tell us what operating system and what distribution you are running.
