Rebecca,

  I'm running 1.0.4. I do get the dialog box and I can specify printer (or
file), orientation, and paper size. I have no choices for media type or
media source, and I set scaling to 100% (the default).

  Now, when I try it again, I'm stymied by another problem. The printer
tells me to load plain paper in tray 1 (for single-sheet feeding), so I do
it. It then sits for a while and tells me to remove the media in tray 1!

  Something is really screwy here.

Thanks,

Rich

when i do the print i get a dialog window.  select print to lp or
whatever it is instead of file.  then set percentage etc and paper size
in there.  i have no problems switching to a4 and adjusting percentage
and alignment how i want.
what version gimp are you using?  may be a problem in an older version.



Printing a full page/full image

2000-10-09 Thread Rich Shepard

  I'm trying to print a .jpg image from GIMP, but I get only about 1/4 of
the image centered on the page.

  When I use the file menu exposed by right-clicking on the image, I get the
lower, left quarter of the image. If I send the file to the printer from the
command line, I get the upper, left quarter. What I'd really like to have on
the page is the entire image, not 1/4 of it centered. I would also like to
be able to specify 11" x 17" paper on my HP 2500C instead of the default
8.5" x 11" paper. I know that I can specify paper size when I print from
CUPS, but can I do this from within the GIMP, too?

  Pointers, please?

Thanks,

Rich
