[plug] Printing from the Gimp

In case anyone else has problems with printing from the Gimp to a CUPS
printer where all they get is pages of raw postscript, the trick is to
go into "Setup Printer" and edit the print command, so that instead of
saying something like:

    lp -s -dminolta -oraw

it says something like:

    lp -s -dminolta

i.e. without the -oraw bit.  Despite the little thingy it pops up with
saying "please don't remove the -oraw or printing will fail", it made
it work for me. (Gimp 2.2, CUPS, colour laser printer, Debian sid.)
