Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 18:56:42 +0100 (CET) From: David Monniaux [EMAIL PROTECTED] PROBLEMS: * Printing (under Linux) yields back results on certain printers (HP DeskJet 690C). What exactly are the problems? There are some fixes for HP printers in Print 3.0.5 (on my web site), but I'm curious as to the exact problems they've observed. -- Robert Krawitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton

(Obviously it doesn't use XInput, but another API, called WinTab.) That said, I certainly admit that the tablet support on Windows needs improvement. --tml

Maybe the print dialog should offer some 'standard' gamma settings. The print plugin does have standard gamma and density settings for different printers. The adjustments in the print dialog box are relative to these (e. g. a gamma setting of 100 in the dialog box is multiplied by the default gamma recorded for that printer). Things changed quite a bit in 1.1.15; there are a lot more settings to play with now. -- Robert Krawitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton

I dunno Gimp, but MS Windows needs a better WinTab (at least NT). I complained to Wacom about being unable to turn off and on my tablet, and they told me it was a MS Windows problem. I tried with the NT services thing, and there was not way, it did nothing (at least nothing broke either). XFree allows it, if you do not need the tablet, you can turn it off. Only must be on when launching X, then you can play with the switch as much as you want. [For the record, so if problem arises it is answered already.] GSR
