If it prints OK via Open Office, there's probably nothing wrong with the image. I would be more likely to blame some disconnect in communication between the GIMP and the printer. In the long run it might pay to take a close look at the installed print drivers, and any printer interface software that may be installed. But just for immediate results, I would try some work-arounds. Export the image as (plain vanilla) TIFF and/or BMP, then: -- Check and see if the printer's user interface includes a command to print photos. If it does, print the TIFF and/or BMP from there and see what happens. -- If the printer does not have the ability to print image files "all by itself," try using Irfanview to print the TIFF and/or BMP. http://www.irfanview.com/ IMO Irfanview rocks - Microsoft's 'innovations' in image browsing & viewing are weak imitations of Irfanview. -- If that don't work, try printing the same TIFF or BMP on a whole other computer and printer. (If another printer is not available, your local copy shop has one...) :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
