I think I found an explanation : some trouble appeared when gimp3 was introduced in Cauldron... and then pulled out I will provide a diff for the spec file and some patches and a python script (from fedora)
Created attachment 12396 [details] diff for the spec file diff for the spec file
Created attachment 12397 [details] patch from fedora
Created attachment 12398 [details] script python
Done for Cauldron and also for mga8 in Core/Updates_testing repo!

Thanks David I will test it from update-testing repo (I've to uninstall my own packages first) NB it perhaps won't work for Gimp3 and need to be modified again
Hi So I uninstalled my own packages I installed the core rpms no plugin I updated from /core/update/testing went smooth but !!! As gutenprint-gimp2 was not installed (of course) the update does not bring it... And you have to go to the CCM and choose to add it. Nevertheless once installed it works perfectly : it's shown as "print with gutenprint" in Gimp's menu It prints perfectly (lots of options : more than with simple "print" menu So MGA8-64-OK NB This was a clean install of Mageia8 RC (using a backup of my /home/myname) I think this needs something to add in the erratas 1) When upgrading from Mageia7 the gimp plugin (gutenprint-gimp2.rpm) is certainly uninstalled (obsolete) and you need to add it manually after the upgrade and having updated Mageia8 2) On a fresh install, updating is not enough to make gutenprint-gimp2 reappear
Assigning to QA now, Advisory: ======================== The gimp 2 plugin was disable during the mageia8 development cycle, so this update simply re-enable this plugin. ======================== Packages in 8/core/updates_testing: ======================== gutenprint-cups-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm libgutenprintui2_2-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm libgutenprint-devel-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm gutenprint-escputil-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm gutenprint-gimp2-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm libgutenprintui2-devel-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm libgutenprint9-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm gutenprint-common-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.i586.rpm gutenprint-cups-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm lib64gutenprintui2_2-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm lib64gutenprint-devel-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm gutenprint-escputil-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm gutenprint-gimp2-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm lib64gutenprintui2-devel-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm lib64gutenprint9-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm gutenprint-common-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.x86_64.rpm Source RPM: ======================== gutenprint-5.3.4-2.1.mga8.src.rpm

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA8-64-OK
i5-2500, Intel graphics, 64-bit mga8 Plasma install. Checked Gimp, no gutenprint option. Checked with rpmdrake, gutenprint-gimp2 isn't even available. Used QA Repo to get the above packages, but gutenprint-gimp2 was not among those updated, so apparently, not a requirement. Checked again with rpmdrake with the local QA repo still active, and gutenprint-gimp2 was there, so I installed it. Mo installation issues. Ran Gimp again, this time there was a gutenprint option. Configured gutenprint to the closest option available to my HP Deskjet 5650, and printed a photo. Worked great. Confirming the OK, and validating. Advisory in Comment 7.

Worked great. > Hi If your HP printer is not in the list provided by gutenprint, you can use the ppd file from the hplip-model-data.rpm You can find it in /usr/share/ppd/HP/ it's a compressed file (gz) with its entire name : hp-deskjet_5650.ppd.gz Copy it in your home directory and uncompress it In Gimp open a picture and choose print with gutenprint in the gimp plugin create a new printer and choose the ppd file in your directory You will have all the precise settings for your printer (Something to add in the wiki ?)
(In reply to Philippe Didier from comment #10) > (Something to add in the wiki ?) A wiki page about printing would be great. And some printers deserve own pages that could be linked from it.
