Because you need to install

Because you need to install Ghostscript; it's an external program that now happens to be Open Source. :)

PC's right; forgot to add

PC's right; forgot to add that you need to add an Environmental variable so that GIMP will know where Ghostscript is located at. Sorry about that (it's one of those things that as soon as you set it up, you forget about it; lol). :)
