[eug-lug]Gimp printing photos
Is there anyone on the list who can help me set up the Gimp to print photos using Redhat 9 and my hp 5550 printer. So far I have to use a Windows hdd as I can't figure out how to make Gimp do the job. The gThumb viewer will do it but I can't configure the right picture sizes in gThumb. Is there an easier app to do photo printing in linux? Thanks, Dirk ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

Dirk, The GIMP uses its own printing tools, check out: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ Jamie On Monday 27 October 2003 10:35 am, Dirk Ouellette wrote: : Is there anyone on the list who can help me set up the Gimp to print : photos using Redhat 9 and my hp 5550 printer.

FWIW, I don't use inkjet printers any more to output photos. Not good enough quality... I burn 'em to a CD and take 'em to Costco or Wal-Mart and get real photos instead. I'm REAL busy right now preparing for a new class I'm teaching today (Photoshop...) at LCC. Call me tonight (# in phone book) if you still want help.

Re: [eug-lug]Gimp printing photos
You should make sure your printer is correctly configured before you worry about application-level details like specifically printing photos. You should be able to: echo I'm alive | lpr to print some text (use lpr -P /dev/XXX to specify printer, see man lpr) or: lpq to see the printer queue. You might want to fool around with redhat-config-printer since you're using redhat! Once CUPS or gimp-print is setup, you should be able to specify a nice driver which gives you most, if not all, of the same controls for the printer that you see in your windows printer dialog boxes... if there are multiple drivers, you might want to experiment to find the one that works best *for you*.
