It seems likely that a certain plug-ins clings onto your GIMP installation.
This plug-ins appears to attempt sending of PostScript to the printer as
means of saving precious bandwidth. This is not what you are after because
no vector graphics are involved. I suggest you have a look at the plug-in in
question and attempt to uninstall it. Otherwise, consider uninstalling and
re-installing the GIMP so that it runs without any plug-ins which have been
bound to the SuSE distribution.

Hope it provides some useful information despite my lack of confidence about
this...
