Hi again Angelo,

- the system is PCLinuxOS2007 - the final version
- synaptic tells me that hplip is 1.6.9-3pclos2007 version
- the print seems the same in both digikam and gimp - but I can make further checks if needed

now for the interesting finding,

I just installed Gwenview (nice program) - and it produces the exact same behaviour - after 2 minutes I cancel the job and restart cups. Then using Gimp - the print is printed after 32 seconds,

the testimage is a JPG image, 2MB in size,

this must imply that the bug has to be reassigned, can You direct me?

any help greatly appreciated :-)

Regards,
Martin Bantz

------- Additional Comments From anaselli linux it  2007-09-20 11:06 ------- First some questions:
- is the system a Mandriva or another one? (the bug seems to say Mandriva, Reporter PCLinuxos2007)
- which hplip version are you using?
- is quality of printing better anyway in digikam -when finished- than in gimp?
- have you experienced any other kde application? Gwenview or kipi-plugins for instance.

Now what i can say is kde printing is different compared to the way gimp does, IIRC gimp use guteprint directly, that was an old idea of old printwizard maintainer iirc again. 
Anyway I experienced some similar problems in mandriva and always with hp printers, so i believe there something on hplip drivers.
Have a look at http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23455 for instance.
