Re: [darktable-user] Printing Problem Epson ABW Mode

2017-03-13 Thread Jason Polak 
I don't understand why this reply had to be so snarky. Wow, darktable is 
not Lightroom! I never could have guessed that.


All the guy wants to do is figure out the steps to get printing to work. 
Yes, we get it that the job is sent to the printer queue, and then it's 
the user's job to do the rest...so how is that done exactly? Is it 
possible to get OS X to bring up a similar Epson print dialog in this 
process or not (which may not necessarily be a question about Darktable)?


Hopefully someone with access to this equipment or a similar setup can 
help the OP, without the attitude.

darktable *will* *not* deny you the use of any printer, that is determined
by your operating system and the software you have installed to
control/access your printer.

darktable is an application to produce and alter graphic images from a
camera, raw or jpg/tiff/...  it doesn't control your printer, it only
sends out a print job the the queue to be handled by and how you direct.

using/controlling "Epson ABW" is *your* job.

and darktable != lightroom, thank goodness!

ps: darktable will not open a beer or brew coffee for me.

darktable does not do the printing or manipulate the printer.  it just
sends the job to the printer queue, cups.  *you* tell the printer how to
handle the print job using whatever you have to control your printer. 
darktable *will* *not* deny you the use of any printer, that is determined
by your operating system and the software you have installed to
control/access your printer.

darktable is an application to produce and alter graphic images from a
camera, raw or jpg/tiff/...  it doesn't control your printer, it only
sends out a print job the the queue to be handled by and how you direct.

using/controlling "Epson ABW" is *your* job.

Yes, exactly. Except that it only support cups. So you just have to
create a cups queue with the proper parameters.
