GIMP Users, I don't quite understand how printer support in GIMP/Gutenprint is handled.
I have my Canon Pixus iP3100 printer installed and working fin with Linux. However, that particular model is not listed in the list of supported printers within GIMP. I hope this question won't offend advocates of GIMP by sounding accusatory, because I am sincerely just wondering: why would I need specific support within GIMP for my printer when the drivers I've installed for CUPS/Linux provide printer support for every other application? I certainly don't intend to start any heated threads on the matter. My basic motivation for asking is because I am getting strange behavior when trying to print from within GIMP, and I'm trying to determine where the root of the problem is. Sometimes when I send an image, the printer flashes it's indicator light to signify that it's receiving data, but then prints nothing. A couple of times it did print something. One time it printed much too large to fit within a single A4 page, the other time it squeezed everything down to half an A4 page. So, since my printer isn't listed as officially supported by GIMP, does that mean I can't use it to print from GIMP? If it is possible, are there extra steps I can take to ensure correct printing behavior? Thank you for any information or advice. -- Dave M G Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft Kernel 2.6.17.7 Pentium D Dual Core Processor PHP 5, MySQL 5, Apache 2 _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
