That's Panther trying to use Gimp-print. If the 2200 is your only
printer or if all of your printers are officially supported by their
respective manufacturers, you don't need it. The best way to deal with
this is to download a copy of Gimp-print from
<
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net>. Inside the disk image you will
find an uninstaller for Gimp-print which you will then want to use.
This should remove Gimp-print and leave your existing drivers installed
and operational.
YMMV, of course.
You shouldn't really even need to uninstall Gimp-Print, since it's
just a CUPS driver. I don't know what will happen if you try to
uninstall it from Panther, since it's installed with the core OS.
A couple of other things:
1) Gimp-Print 5.0 alpha should be out quite soon (it's basically
frozen). This has much, much better support for the 2200 than 4.2
does.
2) "No color correction" is somewhat of an oxymoron with inkjet
printers. If you use literally no color correction, the results
will be much too dark and you'll soak the paper. So at the very
minimum the density needs to be rescaled. The "Line Art" setting
in Gimp-Print 4.2 (which has been renamed "Uncorrected" in 5.0)
does less correction (HSL remapping, in particular isn't done), so
it may be more what you want.
