Oops, sorry, but now we're both guilty, so I'll be right behind you in the line to warsh my mouth out with some of grandma's lye soap. They obviously have more lawyers than engineers, and will sue anyone who says differently. Be advised their warranty is null and void if its ever been hooked up to a linux box. Been there, learned that, but the lesson cost me a bit over 100 USD for that class's tuition. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I always check for proper Linux support first. There are very few HP printers that aren't perfectly supported under Linux. My Color LaserJet 2840 does everything in Linux flawlessly, from printing to faxing to scanning and even remote-initiated copies (wtf is the point of that, anyways?), all over the network.

I've been doing tons more photography lately, and Gimp has become a much more useful tool as a result. I'm definitely looking for something with good colour fidelity, so I'll have to check out the options. It's just hard to beat HP's Linux support. Even the printers they don't officially support (of which there are few) tend to work flawlessly anyways. I've been burned in this department before with cheap Lexmark printers. -- Frank Gore Project Manager www.projectpontiac.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I'm one of those people who's a hard core open source user and sniffs disdainfully at any proprietary solution to achieve my means :) But I try not to impose these irrational beliefs on anyone else, especially on mailing lists and forums. I'd much rather saddle myself with a crappy, generic photo printer of dubious quality than try out software that might function perfectly well :) But in all seriousness, there are other reasons to get a photo printer. My Color LaserJet might be great for documents and graphics, but it sucks horribly at printing photos. It can't do border-less printing, its colour rendering is inferior, and it costs a fortune in toner. A great HP photo printer is only $140 or so and would give me better print quality than commercial photo printing companies. -- Frank Gore Project Manager www.projectpontiac.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Just a suggestion, have you tried using TurboPrint, a free trial is available? It may work and is much cheaper than a new printer.

I've never been able to print custom sizes with my HP printer and HPLIP. Not with Gimp or anything else. Anything other than the printer's built-in formats results in either cups disabling the printer, or a messed-up output. My printer is not a photo printer, it's a business-class network laser printer, so I can't even print pictures because there are no built-in picture sizes available for me to choose from. This is despite the fact that my printer has a built-in card reader and a dedicated picture-printing function. I can't even select custom sizes on the printer itself, disregarding HPLIP altogether. I've been contemplating buying a picture printer specifically for making prints of my pictures without having to drive to the store all the time. -- Frank Gore Project Manager www.projectpontiac.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Printing
Using GIMP 2.6, running on Ubuntu Linux, v9.10. The printer is an HP Photosmart C5180 on my home network. I have the hplip printing package installed. I've chosen Custom Sizes from the page setup options, choosing the C5180. The HPLIP is the latest version available.

Since the book will be a large one, and we try to synchronize it with version 2.8 of GIMP, you'll have to wait for one year (hopefully not more). -- Olivier Lecarme ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
