You have two options: (1) Switch to a non-Win32 platform. The standard print plug-in has the features you are asking for. The winprint plug-in that is used for printing on Windows seems to be rather limited in functionality. (2) Add the missing functionality to the winprint plug-in or look for someone who can do this for you (and for the other Win32 users).

I think this is a Linux only feature. Unfortunately for Windows users. HTH, Jacob ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Within PhotoPaint, the printing dialog lets you graphically adjust the size of the image and position it on the page directly by mouse. Of course, there's also the choice to set the size to "original size" and to "center" the image. Furthermore, PhotoPaint can automatically shrink the image such that it fits the paper size. How can this be done with Gimp? I didn't find the appropriate dialog / menu. The print dialog I see in gimp allows all you've just noted. You can use the scaling slider to set the size. You can grab the actual image in the preview and drag it where you want it. There's also the 'use original image size' button just above the print button, lower right corner. -- Until later, Geoffrey ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
