Pat and I have been trying to get the GIMP to print to the plotter for the last couple of days, and it's been really irritating. Apparently, the GIMP has problems printing on Windows platforms. This makes it difficult to use the computers that are in the VCC to print, as printing with Windows causes the poster to be quite tiny, and the Solaris boxes are just terrible. We tried a number of possible ways to get it to enlarge for printing, with no luck. The only print that we got to take up the correct amount of space only printed maybe 3 inches before it failed.
tl;dr - The plotter makes posters Hard.
