First off: it would be very helpful for those who try to help you if they
knew which version of KDE and KDEPrint you are using and also maybe, which
Operating System (KDE is not only for Linux... :-) and which release...

You mean, you have installed a PPD in CUPS which identifies itself as
"Gimp-Print"?

How are you trying to bring it about?

If it works with CUPS and "lp file.jpg", it should also work with
"kprinter file.jpg". "kprinter --nodialog" will print it silently
in the background.

Note, that you might need to use the "--stdin" parameter, depending on the
version you operate.

Items to check:  * Is the kprinter dialog popping up?
                  * Is CUPS the selected print subsystem in the lower right corner?
                  * Can you select your printer (in case you've more than one)?
                  * Check if the selected printer has a "Filter" associated
                    with it. If so, remove it (kprinter --> "Properties" --> select
                    the "Filters" tab...)
                  * If you are asked wether you want KDEPrint to convert the file,
                    select "No" (or is it named "Keep"?) and let it be handed to
                    CUPS "as is"...
