GIMP assistance needed

I am trying to call the function in GIMP file-print-gimp. Do you have example of the arguments that are needed and the correct syntax? I am getting the error "Invalid types specified for arguments". Below is a copy of the script as I entered it into script-fu.

(file-print-gimp 0 "home/eds_cm/screen.xwd" "home/eds_cm/screen.xwd" "lp -s -dhpcp1160 -oraw" "DJ9xxVIP"
"/usr/share/printconf/foomatic/data/DJ9xxVIP-530418.foo" 1 "300" "Letter" "Plain" "Tray1" 1.0 100 -1 -1 -1 1 1 1 1 1 0 2 2 1 "\0" "Adaptive" 0).

In addition, I want to use this to print out a screenshot from the xwd command. Can I use gimp -b to do this from the command line. By the way the screenshot is referenced above as screen.xwd.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

hi. even though it says it wants to know about interactive or not, it really doesn't want to know. i think that non-interactive is assumed. at least that is how it worked with perl-fu.

there is a call extension-screenshot that has gimp call xwd for you. i don't know if this is better or not.

hope it helps.

I wonder why not convert the xwd to something that the print system understands (maybe png?), and just print that with lpr or lp or whatever command you have?
