Kubuntu 22.04 with CUPS, Canon MG6250, test page prints ok, but unable to print from GIMP

ua flag

Kubuntu 22.04

CUPS Canon_MG6200_series.

Driver: Canon PIXMA MG6250 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.3 (color, 2-sided printing).

Connection: usb://Canon/MG6200%20series?serial=26403B&interface=1.

CUPS > Administration > Manage Printers > Canon_MG6200_series > Maintenance > Print Test Page < This prints a test page ok.

Unable to print whilst using Gimp. I have installed Snap Gimp plus the Snap Gutenprint plugin for Gimp, but the Gutenprint option doesn't appear in Gimp. All there is is the Print option, with an option to print to file. I cannot find a way of registering the printer in Gimp.

I have uninstalled & reinstalled both Gimp and the Gutenprint plugin.

{sudo snap remove gimp}

{sudo apt-get clean}

{sudo apt-get purge gimp}

{sudo snap remove gutenprint-printer-app}

{sudo apt-get clean}

{sudo apt-get purge gutenprint-printer-app}

{sudo apt update}

{sudo apt install snapd}

{sudo snap install gimp}

{sudo apt update}

{sudo apt install snapd}

{sudo snap install gutenprint-printer-app --edge}

What am I doing wrong? Help, please! Should I install Gimp before, or after, installing the Gutenprint plugin?

Everything worked fine with Kubuntu 20.04, but now I have 22.04 and CUPS I am unable to print. Struggling to understand why?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
