Not in 1.2.5 at last (at work is what I use. At home, I have no wrking printer at the moment) And also, if it cannot be made possible to spread a image over several pages and tile the results, as that would be too much change, the possibility of making the printable image larger than the printer printable area, and trimming the print would be a nice thing for me at last. IIRC, there are enhancement requests for this in the gimp-print bug tracker at sourceforge.

The real problem is that we don't have a permanent maintainer for the plugin, so there's nobody to implement RFE's against it or otherwise improve the interface. -- Robert Krawitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project lead for Gimp Print --http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works. --Eric Crampton ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

As far as number of copies is concerned, this sounds more like a non-GUI feature. Well, of course it will need a GUI element but adding a single spinbutton shouldn't be a problem. BTW, if someone rewrites the print plug-in GUI, please consider not to use (lengthy) tooltips on each and every widget. This was probably done to improve useability but IMO it makes the plug-in user interface a nightmare to work with (or makes you disable tooltips).

As far as number of copies is concerned, this sounds more like a non-GUI feature. Well, of course it will need a GUI element but adding a single spinbutton shouldn't be a problem. That's basically a spooler feature that should be passed through to the GUI. BTW, if someone rewrites the print plug-in GUI, please consider not to use (lengthy) tooltips on each and every widget. This was probably done to improve useability but IMO it makes the plug-in user interface a nightmare to work with (or makes you disable tooltips).
