Would not Windows 7 make more sense? CHAD: .jpg is a _lossy_ image file format (even at the highest quality setting). It is probably not an issue if you are printing to a low-quality printer, but be aware that _every_ time you save a .jpg, the image quality is lessened. If for some reason you must save/export to .jpg keep the original image and always do all editing in the original image. I don't have any problems printing from Gimp, even to a cheap, low-memory ink-jet, but then I am on Ubuntu Linux. JOHN: IMHO, the idea of having go through yet another file format (PDF) and program (Acrobat) just to print is not an acceptable long-term solution. I have had images that I needed to print to a cheap ink-jet printer (because that was the only printer available at the time due to service problems) and simply had to have a print right now. Due to the printer's lack of calibration, I had to tweak a _copy_ of the image to get colors to come out as needed -- I had to print about 12 times to dial it in. If I had to make a PDF each time, it would have taken much, much longer. Regarding Vista vs Windows 7, etc., I did not write clearly. I will have to install whatever version of Windoze the required software demands. But it will be installed under Vmware Workstation and run under Vmware Player, allowing that single Windoze instance to be run from any physical workstation on the network.

Re: [Gimp-user] Printing
snip 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 :) I do under stand your point of view regarding software and Linux. 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. I have had a perfectly good colour printer for some years but have concluded that, for good results and peace of mind at a reasonable cost, I send my photos to be commercially printed. I agree that there are reasonably priced printers readily available but the real cost of printing is in the ink and paper. For example, unless you leave your printer permanently switched, on every time you start the printer the procedure at start up uses ink. There are many other things that can happen such as clogged jets which are difficult to clean and also consume ink and, unless you buy really good quality inks which are expensive, you will probably never be really satisfied with the results.

There are many other things that can happen such as clogged jets which are difficult to clean and also consume ink and, unless you buy really good quality inks which are expensive, you will probably never be really satisfied with the results. That's very debatable, and depends entirely on the outside lab you use to get your pictures printed. Most photo labs have printers that only cover the sRGB gamut or less. For example, all the cheap photo labs (ie. WalMart, Costco, local pharmacies) use commercial printers that don't even cover the full sRGB gamut. A 4x6 picture at these places is usually $0.15 or so, depending on taxes. Some higher end photo labs (Ritz Camera, Lord Photo, other camera retail outlets) have a printer that covers the AdobeRGB gamut, but their software and their lab techs only work in sRGB anyways. They have their workspace set to sRGB and they usually ignore any embedded colour space in your files. There's a 50/50 chance they'll either convert it to sRGB anyways (which minimizes the damage), or they'll assign an sRGB profile to your picture and ruin the colours in the process. I recently paid $0.29 at Ritz camera for a single 4x6, which is twice as much as the places I mentioned above. Of the professional photo labs, many only work in sRGB. Some work with AdobeRGB, but these tend to cost more. The result usually looks great, but they cost significantly more than the camera retail stores. I have to wait for them to be printed and mailed (more cost), then I have to get into my big V8 diesel pickup truck and drive to the mailbox to pick them up, thereby adding yet more cost. If I'm not happy with the results, too bad for me. Meanwhile, the high-end photo printers from Canon, HP, Epson et al cost very little initially, and they tend to cover an even wider colour gamut than AdobeRGB (closer to ProPhotoRGB in some cases). If I really care about a photo I'm printing, I can print it myself, see the results right away, and if I need to make any changes, I can do those right away and reprint immediately. This is a very nice luxury. If I have a bunch of pictures to print and their quality isn't important to me, I'll happily drive over to WalMart and use one of those self-serve kiosks. It's cheap, it's fast, and the pictures look fine in my opinion. Not stunning, just fine (as long as I converted them all to sRGB first and don't mind losing some of the colours). I can even justify the fuel cost. But if I have a stunning picture that I spent hours post-processing, I want the luxury of being able to print it myself. I want the widest colour gamut possible, I want complete control over the process, and I want to see it immediately. This is worth the extra cost for me, and I actually find it cheaper than working with the professional photo labs. -- 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

And it now appears I need to do the same thing for my new NX-515 all-in-one, but that brings up another problem. I cannot leave the xsane dialog open to the scanner in it, and print at the same time, the print jobs then apparently go to /dev/null, and the printer icons green ready button in the FF display turns yellow, not red. I tried to use the NX515's built in copy function, but the copy was so bad it went straight to the round file. So if there are multiple pages to copy, I have to get them, save them, close out the xsane dialog, then reload, do any adjustments, and then print. And when the printing didn't work, it made a 20 minute job for 8 pages into a 4 hour job. Foomatics NX400.ppd almost works with this, as does mtink, but it says all the color tanks are empty all the time. And mtink, I need working badly as the thing doesn't tell you which tank is low. Does it expect you to replace all 4 tanks at almost $90 USD everytime one runs out?

With my HP and the GTK print dialog, I managed briefly to get borderless (full bleed) prints, but something changed in the CUPS settings and now I get unpredictable margin sizes, and I haven't found the magic setting to turn borderless back on. That option, as you know, comes from the driver, and is displayed and changeable from the gutenprint gui gimp calls here, and hasn't changed with any cups updates, currently at 1.3.11 here. However there are some miss-cues in the NX515 when being driven by the NX400 driver ppd, which is the newest one I can find. Trying some modes will only empty the paper chute for instance.

Re: [Gimp-user] Printing issue
I guess that it is possible your theory is correct and that this is the motivation. Since printing with Gimp on Vista does not work properly, it calls this theory into question, however. You have a point. However, my view has always been that, although it is great that the bulk of software I need to use is free, I am quite prepared to buy something, if necessary. Thus, I use TurboPrint for printing from Gimp and have done for several years.

It worked perfectly and had a feature to auto-fit the image to the correct paper size. Image rotation (landscape/portrait) was never an issue.

Here are links to some screenshots: https://joomla.lotspeich.org/~erik/gimp-print-fail.png https://joomla.lotspeich.org/~erik/gimp-image-properties.png I would like to know why the width and height do not correspond to any reasonable value. I set my paper size to 4x6 borderless on an HP OfficeJet 6110. Printing on this printer works perfectly in other programs; I'm using hplip and CUPS. Why is there no auto-resize like there is in Gimp 2.2? Why is the X and Y resolution pegged to 1133.948? Why won't it let me set this value? The preview does not correspond in any way to my paper size (see the huge border on the bottom!). I'm sorry to sound upset by this issue, but I'm completely shocked that a wonderful program like Gimp would have such a complete regression. I'm using the distro version of Gimp (OpenSUSE); I haven't tried to compile the latest version from source. I also tried Gimp for Windows on my wife's Windows Vista computer. Printing here is just as much of a failure. On Windows, it's actually worse since the page setup options that Gimp provides conflict with the printer driver's settings (e.g. paper size, rotation, etc.). I tried all permutations of portrait/landscape and could never find a way to print correctly. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Erik ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user My history with Gimp is much more limited than yours. I have always used Gimp for creation/manipulation of images and some other program for printing out the results in a document. When I rarely need to print color work locally I throw a switch to redirect traffic to my Epson Stylus Color 880 and select that printer from the Cups popup. Someday I hope to get a color laser. But I will still use Gimp for image massaging and something else to print out the results. Perhaps I should test Gutenprint directly from Gimp just to be sure it works. My Epson 880 is ancient. Hence it is well understood by software.

But between foomatic and gutenprint, and as I have epson printers, I'm partial to gutenprint, keeping ahead of the continuous efforts of the printer people to create a completely dependent on the maker product, so they can give away the printer and make it up on inflated ink prices, and do it as well as they do, involves at least as many folks to keep gutenprint up to date as it does to keep a steady stream of improvements coming along in Gimp. This is really two separate problems cuz there are 200 printers, all needing slightly different drivers out in the field being used every day, for every Gimp contributor. Probably at least 250 under the Epson label alone, Lexmark (spit) probably doesn't make the same model for more than 30 days. You simply cannot expect the Gimp folks to keep ahead of that.

Re: [Gimp-user] Printing issue
Hi Joao, I very much appreciate your measured response to my rant! ;) I installed the Gutenprint plugin and printing works exactly as I would expect it to. Your suggestion really saved the day for me and I appreciate it greatly! For the record, I find it absurd that Gimp has two parallel printing systems. The default system, although it can glean printer and paper-size information from CUPS, is clearly broken and lacks features necessary to print photographs and other media effectively (or, in many cases, at all!). Gutenprint has necessary features like auto-orientation, color correction, ability to auto-size images, etc. but lacks integration with CUPS. It is necessary to use RAW mode or have the PPD available and print PostScript to obtain decent results. This is also non-ideal since CUPS already has the PPD and you need to reference it again for Gutenprint (sometimes this means having the PPD both on the local machine and on the remote print server). The fact that the Gimp engineers haven't integrated these two printing systems is unacceptable -- they should be ashamed. Gimp will never be taken seriously until this printing nightmare is resolved.

Of course it won't work as fast as submerging the nozzle in water, but then you don't risk flooding the cartridge either. This is how the printer technician at my work does it: Place the cartridge head down in a shallow bowl with clean water. Leave it in for a few hours, wipe it of gently with a clean cloth rag. Do NOT use tissuepaper! Make sure its dry before you place it back into the printer again. This might have to be repeated, but its safe for the nozzles and ink. Thank you, I will try that.

Re: [Gimp-user] printing only blue
2008/9/23 Don Koch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Cheaper printers are RBY, not CMYK. He never said he had an RGB printer. (I don't think anyone even makes an RGB printer.) My HP printer, for example, had a Red-Blue-Yellow cartridge and a black one. I do have another printer that is CMYK. I should have been clear about that, sorry. The printer cartridge has red, blue, and yellow reserviors, in fact, it is an HP model. Best suggestion so far is to use the printer's clean mode. Otherwise, I don't see a big problem with a little bit of red leaking through. I have used the printer's clean mode but it is wasting much ink from the other reserviors, and wasting the black as well. I figure that I need at least another ten or so passes, maybe more, so I'd like to save the other colours. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü ___ 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..
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

But you can save a gimp image as PostScript (don't forget to zero out the offsets in the print dialog) and then route that PostScript page to your printer somehow. Alternatively you can incorporate the image in a document type you know you can print and then print that document.

Actually for most image manipulation needs your source images will be in an RGB color space and it is then recommended to do all the work in RGB and to let the printer driver care about the rest.

Doug If you do decide to go with turboprint, a couple of tips - You *should* follow the recommendations to adjust Saturation and Gamma in Gimp. Otherwise Gimp images that print with perfectly good colour matching in other apps, say OODraw, come out very wishy-washy when printed directly from Gimp itself. Not all apps allow the full range of printer adjustments; use xtpconfig if you need these.

There is also a forum there for Epson printers that might be of help: If I read the original post correctly, the issue is not a printing problem, but a *color management* problem--i.e., can the GIMP produce good quality CMYK output? I've hesitated to jump in because I really don't have much expertise in this area. But I do know that for professional print work, it's not enough to have a good printer and a good printer driver, and to have them configured correctly. Your application also has to be able to adjust the colors for print, and I'm afraid GIMP 2.2 can't do that. GIMP 2.4 is supposed to have greatly improved color management, though. Depending on your timeline, you might try the latest 2.3 beta version, which is what will become 2.4.

Re: [Gimp-user] Printing success stories?
While (advanced) CYMK capabilities is a current project in Gimp development, the LINUXPRINTING site is valuable for the HP designed/created print drivers, and I assume other print drivers. I have an HP6122 (color duplex inkjet) and with the HP PPD file (driver) am now able to get more control over the printer than I had with generic drivers. The driver is also recognized by all of the software that I use which provides for better and more complete print control. As a side affect, Gimp color output was truer to what it displayed, though I have not attempted to verify exactness nor CYMK control other than a couple of simplistic tests.

If you are using Postscript Level 2 on Gimp, you have to choose the correct PPD file for your printer, and use the command lpr -Pprintername to print. JR Thanks for the info. I am using ML10.0 and lpr does point to lpr-cups. However, I can print just using lpr without the PPD file or lpr -Pprinter plus the PPD file. I am using Postscript level 2.
