But just to be sure, I went to the Gutenprint project web page, and downloaded their .tar files, and installed that anyway using the "./configure" and "make install" process as described in the instructions. And still, when I select to print from within GIMP, it and click the button that says "About", it says I'm using "GIMP-Print 4.2". So, as far as I can tell, I've done everything to install Gutenprint on my system, but GIMP isn't giving me any indication that it's using the latest Gutenprint drivers. So my question remains: How do I get GIMP to use the Gutenprint plug in that I have installed? (Actually, my real question is, "Why does GIMP, and only GIMP, need to use an entirely different set of printer drivers all it's own when every other application seems to be perfectly fine with the CUPS drivers that came with my distribution of Linux?". But I'm biting my tongue on that. All I care about is being able to print directly from GIMP.) -- 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
