OK, so now we know we're on Windows and not Linux or Mac. Thanks. > I am using it because I dont use it often and have a lot of add-ons > for video and animation installed.

This is not correct, there was just a change to the menu item and the keyboard shortcut, GIMP still works with other file formats. > 2.6 worked for me but has never printed the way I like or think it > should.

I don't have a Windows system here to try that, I'm afraid, but I recently heard that there are some problems with print under Windows for GIMP. The main developers use Linux, so unless the problems get reported in detail by Windows users, no-one knows there's a problem... it may be that someone else can answer. I'm guessing you are using the Windows driver that came from Epson.

The subject line should be a short summary of the question, which is then repeated in more detail in the message, along with all the information someone might need to be able to answer it. -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
