Yes to printing direct to the DVD surface "Printable" discs only.

Thanks for that Neil, I'd forgotten, I did download the tar.bz2 for the 
lates gimp-print 5.0 beta 2 from Sourceforge.  The reason for that was 
that someone else on linuxprinting commented that they got it working 
with this version.  So I had another stab at it this morning - oops 
sorry afternoon now ;).

Anyway;

tar xvjf gimp-print-5.0.0-beta2.tar.bz2  is the command I used.

As root I get a raft of errors saying it cannot change ownership and 
then it stops saying "halted delayed due to too many errors".

As the same user that downloaded the file I get "cannot utime: Operation 
not permitted", which means precisely zero to me.  I've had a Google for 
this error and people seem to be saying it's a bug in the installer.  I 
can't see how this can be right or surely the developers would have 
corrected it by now.

It's not something stupid, like the fact that I am unpacking it to the 
location I downloaded it to is it? (which is a FAT32 partition so that I 
can dl in Windows or Linux and still see all the files... also if Linux 
goes belly up I won't have lost all my downloaded files).

Any help gratefully received :)

Kind regards,

Julian
