Hello Stephen,

>From your remarks, I understood that I ought to look for another driver
(like you, I had gimp-print-4.2.1). So I installed the latest version, that
is to say gimp-print-4.2.5, and the printer now works (not that it does a
very pretty job, but that is another question).

Many thanks for your help.
