Description:
there is this message when you install gimp
--> printing support in gimp depends on gutenprint. Install it if you need
--> printing.

but gimp seems to use cups now, because i CAN print WITHOUT gutenprint installed here.

so that message might be deleted and not printed during install. as gutenprint seems not to be needed to print in gimp

Additional info:
gimp 2.4.4-1

Steps to reproduce:
install gimp
This task depends upon

To be precise, you need either gutenprint or libgnomeprintui. You probably have the latter one installed. Colourproofed printing is a b**** in Linux and if you wanna get serious with it you better use gutenprint. libgnomeprint doesn't always give you good results. I just can't give a whole printing tutorial in a post_install file. Someone might wanna write a wiki page on that issue.

no i have not libgnomeprintui installed. i only have libgnomeui

there is a print entry in the file menu here and it seems to use cups

are you sure about what you say ?
did you tested it ? i.e. without gutenprint and without libgnomeprintui

here is what gimp.org says about their latest releases
"Printing has been largely improved. GIMP makes use of the advancements in the gtk+ printing API so that you can control all aspects of the printout with an easy to understand interface and immediate preview."

sorry all my bad, I fixed the message in cvs, so with the next update it will be fixed
the main reason it works now though is that gtk2.10 had abuild in print support
