The printer is setup fine, CUPS is running, and a great test page is 
produced.

The problem is from Gimp, all other apps seems fine. What I have found 
is that I always have to reselect and save the printer settings.

I also have to print the same item twice.
On first time print it pulls the paper in, and just runs the paper 
through, then pulls another sheet in and just stops. Checking the que, 
it shows no jobs.
Choose print again, and it then prints the picture.
