[Gimp-user] giimp printing incorrectly
I've been without a printer for some time, and I finally bought on Saturday. HP Officejet 7000 wide format. Gimp will print fine on regular letter-size paper, but when I try to print a 9 x 12 photo on 11x17 paper, it prints only a part of the picture, leaving half the page blank. I've set all the page setup features that I can find which might be relevant. Set to centered. But it keeps putting out these expensive sheets of photopaper with the photo only half there, printing only on one (leading edge) of the paper. The print preview feature doesn't work. When I click Print Preview, it flashes quickly, less than a second. Using gimp 2.6.2 on Suse 11.1 Any ideas are greatly appreciated. -- Helen Etters using Linux, using openSUSE11.1 ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] giimp printing incorrectly
As I mentioned in my original, I'm using Linux, Suse 11.1. I did hp-setup and I have hplip-3.9.8-9.5 .Should I be using gutenprint instead?

Not sure if there are any relevant fixes, but 2.6.2 is really very very outdated. Try to get your hands on 2.6.8 and a recent version of GTK+.

On 3/22/2010 3:22 PM, bennettjon wrote: You can see the logo at www.breathewell.com Ok, well, what I meant was if you could show us a picture of the saved file that is fuzzy, not the good looking one. However, my guess is that you are compressing it too much or a wrong filetype when you save it. Step by step it should be like this when you save, I don't know exactly what you have done while you are saving, so I go through step by step just in case: 1. File/Save 2. Find your directory 3. Type a name for your file followed by either .jpg or .png 4a.If saving as a JPEG, then hit save button, and make sure the quality is around 85. Note if you hit the show preview in image window check box, it will calculate a file size and show you a preview. You will probably have to export it to a flattened image somewhere in this step. 4b.If saving as a PNG, then from my understanding the Compression level does not affect image quality, however it affects file size and rendering time. I would set the compression to 9, as it will create a nice small file size for you. I would also hit the load defaults button, just in case one of these settings got hit. If you could upload the picture that is fuzzy to a host like image shack and share it with us, it would probably help us out if the saving fix I suggested does not work. Stefan Maerz Thanks Stefan for the quick reply. I will upload some images. However, the issue is not fuzziness in GIMP. The fuzziness occurs when inserting into Word or Excel and either printing or converting to PDF. -- bennettjon (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
