You have two files I don't have!

rpm -qa|grep gimp
gimp-2.2.12-3.fc5
gimp-print-utils-4.2.7-16
gimp-help-2-0.1.0.10.0.fc5.1
gimp-print-4.2.7-16
xsane-gimp-0.99-2.2.fc5.4
gimp-libs-2.2.12-3.fc5

Data-extras  and plugin ...

I will investigate that.

Also the google reference given earlier lead me to something
about drivers in "gutenprint" which I obtained but have not
yet done the make-install.  The rest of it seemed to compile
but I would rather install from rpm.

Thank you for the help.
