I've made business cards with GIMP: I wrote a script to generate an image of the right aspect ratio, then another script to take one such image and turn it into an image with the right aspect ratio to be a US-Letter sized page to print with gutenprint. (It also does various other types of labels, not just business cards.) You might have to adjust the offsets a bit for your templates and printer. Here are the scripts: http://shallowsky.com/software/gimplabels/ To be honest, it's probably easier most of the time to use a program that's designed for making labels and business cards, like gLabels; or design one business card in gimp then import it into gLabels for printing (or Open Office, even). Anyway, lots of options. [/quote] Hi Akkana, Thanks for your advice and script. It is quite interesting. I can finish preparing and printing simple business cards on OOWriter. For professional cards with graphics, I'm now search a solution to edit it on different layers and merge them after finish. If I found a solution to the same then I can edit professional business cards on OOWriter. Otherwise I have to do the work on GIMP or Inkscape and import the image on OOWriter for printing. I did lot of graphics editing >10 years ago before turning to Server side, working on CorelDraw, Corel PhotoPaint, PhotoShop, Illustratior, etc. Because I don't expect injecting too much time and effort on this simple task, I started searching around for a simple solution to finish the work with a few clicks.
