Unable to Print from GIMP After GIMP Update

Unable to Print from GIMP After GIMP Update
Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:46:02 GMT
OpenSuSE 10.3, GIMP 2.4.4, Epson Stylus Photo R300

I updated GIMP from the OpenSuSE BuildService repository the other day
(2.4.x to 2.4.4.1).  Before updating, printing worked fine, but after
the update GIMP prints images as a solid green block, mostly solid all
green mask, green blocking around lines (lineart), or just spits out a
blank page.

Printing from other programs seems unaffected and KDE Print Manager
prints a fine test page.  I've used the print preview option, which
produces the correct looking potential print, and copied the .pdf files
from /tmp and been able to print the images using KPDF and Adobe
Reader.

I've reinstalled GIMP (and all components), uninstalled and reinstalled
GIMP (including deleting folders), updated GIMP again to the repo's
2.4.4.1-5(?), and deleted and remade the printer profile in KDE Print
Manager.  Still no luck.  I went to the GIMP web site and reported, but
they said it wasn't a Gnome problem and to try here.

There were other updates at the same time as GIMP (KDE, etc...), but
they were all from stable OS 10.3 repos on the OpenSuSE BuildService.

I've attached a scan of output.  The griffin is lineart (you can see
the green blocking when zooming in).  Another image (too big to post)
is a disc which is supposed to be a white background with blue, flesh,
red, and yellow caricatures with red letters, but it only prints solid
green with portions of the letters in darker green. 

Any help tracking this down is greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
John
