Hi Pascal, Photoprint, developed by Alastair M. Robinson, was a good printing solution even if the color management had to be improved. The layout management was good offering the possibility to set scale and margins, to print multiple images on the same sheet or to create poster layout. The development was stopped 4 years ago but the source code under GPL is still available here and could be interesting giving you clues about the layout options.

Bad news :( I hate to start like that... I did some testing on my photo printer to found out that the layout is not correct. Indeed the page-left, page-top CUPS options have no effect on this printer (it works on 2 others printers : Dell3100cn and Lexmark-x950 and the PDF printer). Reading the doc again I see that the page-left, page-top options are in the TEXT-related section. That is, those options are not supposed to work when sending images.So a redesign if the last stage (sending the print to CUPS) is needed. One of the option we have thought about is to use a Cairo surface. This should work. We create the surface for a whole page with the right size (taking the printer resolution into account), we place the image at the right position and print this surface. One big advantage of this solution is that it will allow later to print multiple images on the same page if we need this. Or print a contact-sheet for example. Any other idea? |
