[Gimp-user] Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer support
Hi, I am running Fedora core 3, with Gimp 2.2.6 I would like to print to my Epson Stylus Photo R1800 from the Gimp. I installed Gutenprint 5.0.0.rc1 and it seemed to go in OK. The printer driver went into place, since before the install there was no entry for that printer in the KDE printer installation tool, but afterwards it was there. Moreover, I spent a lot of time with Gutenprint, uninstalling and reinstalling it several times, and there didn't appear to be any problems. Problem is, the installation did not provide the Gimp with a new print plugin (and yes, I did run configure with the --with-gimp2 option), and I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gimp. I also tried manually placing what I thought was the Gutenprint plugin manually into the Gimp plugin directory, but that just left it unable to print at all. I've been on the gimp-print epson forum about this, but they seem to have lost interest in me. I really am out of things to try. If there is anyone out there who has installed Gutenprint 5.0.0.rc1 and has a trick to share, great. Failing that, if anyone has the plugin, is there anyway I could get my hands on it, or a tarball of the whole Gimp distribution (with the Gutenberg plugin)? I really want to get this printer going, and I know of no other way to do it. Thanks very much for any help anyone can offer. -- --alex http://alexfeldman.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This can be for any kind of book. I personally self-publish a GFDL book, and can provide guidance for anyone wanting to do something similar. Open licenses means that micro-publishers (which include self-publishers) can publish books that they have not paid to write. Technically, anyone could download my book and publish it on their own. In fact, I believe that is actually happening for translations. Most people do not because it would be a waste of time to simply re-publish under another title what someone else is already the de facto seller of.

I think it's *supposed* to mean handling e.g. printing and sales of the book and whatnot by oneself, although I don't know the details. That said, e-books are always quite nice. Have you ever heard of Creative Commons (creativecommons.org)? ^^ -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Cinepaint (formally film gimp) will handle 16 bit/color, 48 bit images. It's main problem is that it's not really meant for big scans (film frames are actually not all that big), and it's based on an old fork of gimp. I use it to tweak levels and write the image back out. I then use regular gimp (2.2.8) from what I gather from the list, the gimp devos are holding off supporting more than 8 bits till they re-write major portions of the code. As in not in the near future. (feel free to correct me) I've got a 16/48 bit scanner, and I'm looking at a DSLR that produces 12/36 bit raw files. Thats a lot of data to toss, and it's what will drive me to a windoze platform to support the tools (raw decoders and image manipulators) that will work with all the data thats in the image. I wish I had the skillz to contribute because it's definitly a scratch I need to itch. jim I am in the same boat as GIMP is not working anymore for what I need. It is nice to try things but without decent colour depth it is becoming useless. I have submitted my comments to the bug tracker and advise others to do it as well. I wish I had more time as I would try to learn more on how to help with the change and much needed improvement to the colour depth. -- Robin Laing ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Publishing Gimp book
I'm not sure that the speed Gimp is developed can stop publisher. Of course they like to have up2date docs but as they think in years, they will usually work on book update when necessary. For those who want to self-publish book, it is easily possible. That's what have been done for [a la] SOS GIMP (http://www.le-radar.com), which is a FGDL book. Translation of it could be done. For people who to test that : a first is an average of 6 month work. Application documentation are very hard to do as they have to be very precise. If Olivier need some help for self publication in France, i can help. I also would like to say that i'm working on a new book. Not a learning one, but an example one, with graphists tips. 3 people are already OK to contribute, but other are welcome. The purpose is to show what good job can be do with free softwares (we know that but not everybody). If self published this book could be under a Free licence.
