hi,
im not sure with that, but do pumps interact with buckets or cells only?
I remember from an older version, where you could put buckets into a pump and it worked.
I would to suggest it again, if its not implemented anymore 
It could save alot of tin ,)
If that helps. You can place a Pump next to a Compressor to make snowballs without using up any Cells.
Not really. I want to build a geothermal farm in the nether without bc, so I thought about RP rubes + buckets filled by IC Pumps.
So is it a bug or not wanted?
Not sure on redpower tubes, but you could use buildcraft pipes and pump the lava directly into the goes.

Nope you can only make a Geoplant with BC if you don't want to use Cells. Redpower is even with Frames (hopefully soon) completely unsuitable for that.
can't you put a IC2 Pump over alot of lava with 4 geothermals connected to it and have the Pump pump lava into the Geothermal reactors like how they put water into compressers? i haven;t tested this because i just go to the Nether and use a BC pump over a 64 by 64 area of lava and pump it into 16 geothermals, usually makes me a couple stacks of matter over a week, it's a good way to get alittle matter near the start but it still takes a really long time, especially if your on single player.

I think they've implemented that only for Compressors but for Geothermals it would be helpfull, so i could finally throw the useless BC completely away (but i still need it for SMP so i can't).
Geogens? Setup takes a long time? Nope, that goes really fast without Ore-Generation-Manipulating Mods.
So it seems if Pump got water but do not have bucket/cell it search for nearby compressor. If it got lava but cannot store it Pump search for nearby Geothermal. It looks good in pair with Miner too.

Was that a Fact or a Codesuggestion?

i think that was a fact but not sure if a few words were left out, if 1 or 2 words was left out then it was a code suggestion. but i think it's a fact.
Last time, I tried, Pump, paired with Miner works good with brackets and cells. But I never tried Pump with Compressor. Wiki says about separate Pump with Compressor, so I do not know, will Compressor work with Miner/Pump pair.
It seems it is a Suggestion.

... we know that you can place a pump directly against a compressor and it will pump water into a compressor. what we are wandering is if a Pump while directly pump lava into a geothermal generator...
To clearify that question:
Does "Miner->Pump->Geothermal" work without cells?
Sorry, I never tried. Test it yourself.
Unlike water Lava is limited and alone IC2 Pump capable to get only 1 bucket under itself.
Doubt it will work with Geothermal now, but good if it will be added.
basically just hope "you" land the pump on some REALLY deep lava 
lol
Pump cannot get deep liquid without miner.

This.
