Re: [Gimp-user] printing in gimp..
Hi, to shed some more light on the issue of how preview works with the GIMP Print plug-in based on GTK+ Print, here's an excerpt from another mail on this subject: We just hand-off printing (and previewing) to Gtk. Gtk then calls the appropriate pdf viewer. WHat is the appropriate previewer can be configured in .gtkrc-2.0 located in your home directory. The important entry is: gtk-print-preview-command=evince --unlink-tempfile --preview --print-settings %s %f the above line should work for most older versions of evince. Of course you can also use other programs such as: gtk-print-preview-command=gv %f or gtk-print-preview-command=xpdf -q %f Note that evince is preferred since gtk creates temporary files and --unlink-tempfile tells evince to delete them. The other commands will keep those temporary pdf files around. Note that this is only true for printing on Linux and other UNIX platforms. Your desktop may also override the settings in your .gtkrc-2.0. On Win32 things work differently. As far as I understand the default viewer for metafiles is used for the preview. By default this seems to be the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

snip I'm pretty sure the same thing is true of the latest Fedora package for gimp 2.4.3. But one can get the gutenprint gimp plugin which does the job quite well. I bet that is available for ubuntu also. As far as I know, it always has for Ubuntu.

[Gimp-user] Printing from Gimp
A gimp newbie here; I just set gimp up on a Debian system and am having problems getting my OfficeJet 5500 to print from Gimp. It works fine with all other software on my system so I'm puzzled as to why it won't work with Gimp. I use CUPS for printing and have set my printer up using the foomatic/hpijs setting as there are no gimpprint drivers available. In Gimp printer setup I have Postscript level 2 selected as the model (the OJ 5500 doesn't show up in the list) and have the path to the .ppd file for the OJ 5500 in the PPD file box. What am I doing wrong in my setup? Will this printer simply not work as a PostScript printer using the .ppd file, or do I need to install more software? (I have HPIJS 1.6.2 installed along with the latest versions I can find in Debian of all foomatic files and libraries.)
