Re: [Gimp-user] printing in gimp..
Hi, to shed some more light on the issue of how preview works with the GIMP Print plug-in based on GTK+ Print, here's an excerpt from another mail on this subject: We just hand-off printing (and previewing) to Gtk. Gtk then calls the appropriate pdf viewer. WHat is the appropriate previewer can be configured in .gtkrc-2.0 located in your home directory. The important entry is: gtk-print-preview-command=evince --unlink-tempfile --preview --print-settings %s %f the above line should work for most older versions of evince. Of course you can also use other programs such as: gtk-print-preview-command=gv %f or gtk-print-preview-command=xpdf -q %f Note that evince is preferred since gtk creates temporary files and --unlink-tempfile tells evince to delete them. The other commands will keep those temporary pdf files around. Note that this is only true for printing on Linux and other UNIX platforms. Your desktop may also override the settings in your .gtkrc-2.0. On Win32 things work differently. As far as I understand the default viewer for metafiles is used for the preview. By default this seems to be the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] printing in gimp..
snip I'm pretty sure the same thing is true of the latest Fedora package for gimp 2.4.3. But one can get the gutenprint gimp plugin which does the job quite well. I bet that is available for ubuntu also. As far as I know, it always has for Ubuntu.

Turns out I can't do anything with that extra space -- can't paint on it, can't even access it. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? (Yes, I know I can go to scriptadd border, but I just thought I would try something different.) What's the purpose of this extra canvas space if it can't be accessed? Thanks, as always, Helen Hi Keep in mind that you are never painting on the canvas itself, but on layers. Changing the canvas size does not change any layer sizes. You can toggle layer boundary visibility in View - Show Layer Boundary. To change layer sizes you can use for example the Crop Tool (with some changes its tool options) or the various layer size related operations accessible under the Layer image menu.
