Hi, Pascal.

Mistery solved. My fault, print module works Ok with the Epson SX445W

The problem was that I was testing to print on it from Darktable using a
downloaded calibration image, the "Smugmug calibration print", that has
only 1400x1122 pixels. And the print module simply refuses to print it
larger than 100mmx80mm

With my own photos, at native camera's resolution, printing size is correct.

----------------------------

The following is a little off-topic, but explains my initial intention:
I was testing the SX445W with this chart because I use it as an
inexpensive BW dedicated printer, I have replaced the original color
inks by MIS Ebony carbon pigment ink diluted to different levels,
following the methods described by Paul Roark (www.paulroark.com/BW-Info).

I use this printer from GIMP applying to the BW images a custom curve in
the blue chanel, to force the use of the magenta and cyan cartridges
(both filled with medium gray ink) for midtones, and the yellow
cartridge ( filled with ligh gray ink) for the highligts. After that I
apply a lightness curve to correct the densities.

I was hoping to do the same with darktable's print module ... but I have
not found the way to apply my custom curve for the blue channel. Tone
curves in darktable work in Lab space, and I don't know how to create
such a curve in Lab...(end of the off-topic part)

-----------------------------

So thanks, Pascal, the printer works fine.
