CHanging a string in postscript is not even a hack - it is the norm. :-) And certaily lpr would not have trouble using postscript. you can simply save a postscript image with the gimp, and inside the file, insert before the "showpage" command a few lines to draw your text. However, setting the font with that can be a bit tricky. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Help with batch printing please?
Hi! I change strings in a formerly made psd and I would like print it with cups on a distant printer. Because lpr cannot interpret the psd, I need to convert it. Imagemagick displays only a blank picture and the result of the conversion is a blank picture too. I successfully printed it with Gimp through gimp-print. Because I'm a beginner with Gimp and Gimp batch scripts, that's why I would like to ask for a simple Gimp batch script that sends the file defined in the parameter to the printer. Maybe you can suggest another format where the text seen on the picture is stored as a string in the file and it is changeable - with sed for example. I found only the psd format till now, that's why I choose it, but I can't print it from the command line, so it needs a solution. -- Pásztor Lénárd Zoltán rendszergazda Wonderline Hungary Kft.

I found that really confusing and quite unclear when writeing my first scripts. I'd recommend hard coding everything and then cleanup the script once you have something which actually works (you probably do not really need to fill in any of those text strings for example). > (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image > > > (file_print_gimp RUN-NONINTERACTIVE >image drawable "EpsonR200" "EpsonR200" raw 1 >"1440 x 720 DPI Highest Quality" >"Photo Quality Inkjet Paper"8 at the end of the line you have an extra 8, that doens't look right, I'd at least expect a space after the quoted string >"Standard" >100.0 100.0 -1 -1 -1 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 0 2 100.0 100.0 >"Six Color Photo" >"Adaptive Hybrid" >0) > > (gimp-image-delete image))) > > Which I put in my scripts directory and tried to run with: > gimp -b gimp-batch-print ~/color.gif I assume you have stepped through the process manulaly and have the necessary gif and printer support setup.

[Gimp-user] Help with batch printing please?
Hi All, I'd like to be able to have gimp print something from a command line, so I can use it in a batch job. Well, to back up a little, I guess what I want is to be able to print high quality graphics from a command-line but so far, the only thing I have that I'm aware of that does this on my Epson R200 printer is the GIMP. What I'm trying to do is create a script to do it, but the docs seem a little thin (maybe I'm missing something). Anyway, I found something about script-fu, and tried to work from that. What I have doesn't work, and I don't seem to be able to find useful error messages (the console, after it fails, doesn't say anything helpful). So, if anyone can suggest any or all of: 1) how do I debug this? 2) where can I find more information on scripting and 3) maybe tell me what is wrong with this, or what other command line utility I should use, I'd be very grateful. Here's the non-working script: (define (gimp-batch-print filename) (let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename))) (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image (file_print_gimp RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "EpsonR200" "EpsonR200" raw 1 "1440 x 720 DPI Highest Quality" "Photo Quality Inkjet Paper"8 "Standard" 100.0 100.0 -1 -1 -1 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 0 2 100.0 100.0 "Six Color Photo" "Adaptive Hybrid" 0) (gimp-image-delete image))) Which I put in my scripts directory and tried to run with: gimp -b gimp-batch-print ~/color.gif TIA!
