Compiling cinepaint in ubuntu feisty with printing support
I have seen a lot of ubuntu people asking for a cinepaint version with printing support. I have done tests with the ubuntu linux live cd and a chroot environment. This way I am able to write down each step.
You need to install these packages. I prefer to use command line, and then the step is:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install liblcms1-dev libtiff4-dev libpng12-dev libfltk1.1-dev libxpm-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxmu-dev libopenexr-dev
sudo apt-get install intltool
sudo apt-get install cupsys cupsys-driver-gutenprint libgutenprintui2-dev libgutenprint-dev
The you need link gutenprintui2.pc to gutenprintui.pc, like this
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gutenprintui2.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gutenprintui.pc
Download cinepaint source from sourceforge.net
Then from the terminal
tar xzvf cinepaint-0.22-1.tar.gz
cd cinepaint-0.22-1/
./configure --enable-gtk2
make
sudo make install
The cinepaint is ready for running.
I then recommend installing ufraw, if you are interested in raw file converting from your digital camera.. If you build it from source it will install itseslf as a plugin for cinepaint. Take a look at this post for a demo.

How is this different from using the ‘add programs’ function of Ubuntu? Does Ubuntu’s built in function not provide printing support?

It’s not much different than using the package manager, it’s only simpler to explain the command line and it is faster to do a cut and paste.
There is not printing support in cinepaint with ubuntu feisty (7.04). Hopefully they will add it in the next release, but I don’t know that.
You find the excellent print dialog under file-print. The image must have an 16 bit depth to be able to send it to the printer. After the first print dialog, where you normally will use the RGB direct option, you get another printing dialog with preview and a lot of choice for customizing the output.
