Thanks.

I'm emerging the gimp user manual now, so maybe I'll find the answers,
but ...

1.  I didn't find the way yet to set the defaults for printer selection,
but it was fairly simple to add |dps| to my printcap to get the standard
gimp print options to work.

2.  When acquiring an image via the scanner, is there a simple way to
preview the scan, select a smaller section to scan, and then do the scan
for real?  My wife will be primary user of the scanner, and she will
want this functionality which was provided by her old Win$Crap software.

3. Why the %#@! doesn't the Acquire menu option provide for the scanner
dialog?  Instead, you have to go with Xtns -> Acquire Image -> scanner. 
Can this be tailored?
