Yes, the Gutenprint driver is used to prepare the print according to the printer characteristics like printable area, margin, position of the image on the page (and probably other things that I will discover when implementing this). So out from Gutenprint we get a "page" instead of a picture. > About the actual printing I would expect that we somehow generate the final > TIFF (correct size, correct color transformations, ...) and pass that to > cupsPrintFile() or one of the similar functions [0]. Will look, thanks for the pointer!
