QTcups is pretty much a thing of the past. It is no longer supported in
the newer versions such as SuSE 9.0 or Fedora. There are a couple of
approaches that can be used but I think the best is to use a command
line script. David Wroblewski came up with QPR for the 2200 and I have
modified it to use other printers as well. It now seems fairly bug free
and I will send a copy of the modified script to Martin for inclusion in
the QTR-Linux file area.

As you found out, you cannot print to QTR from the Gimp. I hope that
this will be remedied in the future but for now it just won't work. 

Another possibility is to use Kprint but I haven't tried it so I can not
comment on how or if it works with QTR.

If you would like a copy of the command line script before it appears in
the files let me know and I'll send it to you as an attachment.
