Subject: [Gimp-user] Problem printing in Windows XP (sp3) w/ HP printer.
Hi,
New to list, but been using GIMP for awhile... got a new printer, an
HP Officejet 8600 pro plus. Works nicely (so far) in Linux Debian
Squeeze, but do dual boot to Windows XP (sp3)... been trying to
print a 4 x 6 color photo, no matter the settings, I get a paper
mismatch error. Even called HP support... but while waiting for the
tech support person to do some research on this problem... */was/*
able to print said image in Ifranview (a free windows graphic
program)... I apparently don't have the Windows Paint program... which
the tech person wanted me to try).
So apparently there may be a bug in that version (2.8) of GIMP, ported
to Windows. I am using GIMP 2.6.10, in Linux, so I do not really know
if this is a version particular problem... or just a Windows platform
problem... (I've considered updating, building 2.8 on Linux, but looks
like one is supposed uninstall the old version, not sure if this is
really necessary; I've had problems uninstalling software before in
Linux... (/sometimes takes out more than one wants; like the
desktop/!), but better safe than sorry; advise welcome).
Thanks much for any help in resolving these problems.

Have you already checked GIMP's paper/document size? (File Page Setup).

Thanks for reply.
Short answer: I did... Changed the paper size there, thru printer
set-up/s (from within the program, control panel, HP printer set up,
etc.). Nothing worked (i.e., got paper mismatch) in GIMP (Windows). To
repeat sonmewhat, printed same parameters fine in Ifranview (Windows).
