Re: [Gimp-user] Where does GTK Print dialog get its defaults from?

Hi Rich, are you using GIMP 2.8.4 and the latest stable GTK+ 2.24.x ? --Mitch ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Gimp is one app that uses it but firefox, eog, evince ... and many others are other examples of apps that use the GTK printer dialog. I'm on Ubuntu Precise 12.04 which includes Gimp 2.6, GTK 2.0 (and GTK 3.0). ta Rich ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Invariably I forget to change one of them and have to print something twice. Once upon a time I had similar problems with printing images created on an MS WinXP box. I gave up early on, and started saving images in TIFF format, opening them in Irfanview, and printing them from there. (On MS platforms, the GIMP without Irfanview is half an installation, IMO.) I wonder if your distro's default image viewer might enable you to reduce printing hassles to a manageable minimum? Worth a try if you have not already checked. :o) Steve ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
