Indeed GIMP still can't handle vector graphics. When you open a PDF file with GIMP, you can choose the resolution (dpi) you wanna have. Then GIMP imports the PDF file and converts it to bitmap format. I never had problems with printing large bitmap graphics on any of my printers (some HP, some Epson and one Lexmark printer) as long as I had enough RAM. But I think this also depends on the printer driver. -- Regards wabe
