Is there a way to print out the user manual for Gimp that I downloaded?

You mean, other than downloading the HTML pages and hitting print at each page (which may indeed not be the faster/nicest rendering)?

Well it seems that the source files are able to render a pdf manual. So you will need to download the "Manual Source Release for GIMP 2.8" from http://docs.gimp.org/.
Checking the configure, you will need an additional tool called `dblatex`, and the building steps should likely be: $ ./configure
$ make pdf

And then the output pdf should be far better to be printed than many html pages. Now I don't know your level of technicity, and maybe you don't want to build the pdf this way yourself (though it's the best way to be independent from the release team). And I don't know if the GIMP documentation team plans to release a pdf version as well. They don't seem to have released any lately. Anyone knows if there is such plan?
