Re: Printing from GIMP
Hi, Im using a HP 840c deskjet and have had great results in printing images etc... from gimp and my linux box. Being an older HP model drivers are readily available and its also fairly cheap if thats a consideration :). Although the cartridges are a bit pricey they seem to last quite a long time. Just my 2 cents worth. Vossedai "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Printing from GIMP
Anyone having great success printing high quality images from GIMP? What printers have you found to be useful? I am just getting a start and want to determine whether GIMP/Linux can be used to produce photo quality images without undo hassle. Dick [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using Slackware 7.1 with Gimp 1.1.28 and I can print fine with my
BJC 250.
However I setup system print services with the program apsfilter
(www.apsfilter.org). I don't know what effect this may have on printing
and gimp (and I don't know if Mandrake uses a BSD-like print setup.),
but you may want to try apsfilter.
Hope this provides some help. (and I'm sorry if it doesn't)

Printing to an older Canon
Recently I upgraded to Mandrake 7.2 and GIMP 1.1.29. Everything is fine except that I can't print to my Canon BJC 610. There are no drivers in CUPS or Gimp-Print for any Canons older than BJC 1000. Has anybody had any experience with this? It prints a gimp-print header with some settings and then pages and pages full of s8W-! . I can clear the print queue and power the printer on and off a couple of times and they still keep coming. Anyone have any ideas? __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

Rebecca, I'm running 1.0.4. I do get the dialog box and I can specify printer (or file), orientation, and paper size. I have no choices for media type or media source, and I set scaling to 100% (the default). Now, when I try it again, I'm stymied by another problem. The printer tells me to load plain paper in tray 1 (for single-sheet feeding), so I do it. It then sits for a while and tells me to remove the media in tray 1! Something is really screwy here.

Printing a full page/full image
I'm trying to print a .jpg image from GIMP, but I get only about 1/4 of the image centered on the page. When I use the file menu exposed by right-clicking on the image, I get the lower, left quarter of the image. If I send the file to the printer from the command line, I get the upper, left quarter. What I'd really like to have on the page is the entire image, not 1/4 of it centered. I would also like to be able to specify 11" x 17" paper on my HP 2500C instead of the default 8.5" x 11" paper. I know that I can specify paper size when I print from CUPS, but can I do this from within the GIMP, too? Pointers, please? Thanks, Rich Dr. Richard B.

printing 1.1.24
Tried 1.1.?? some while ago, couldn't print so I went back to 1.0.4. Just upgraded to 1.1.24. Still have questions regarding printing. The first two buttons in the print dialog are: file Setup 'file' appears to be a dropdown, but nothing drops, so I can not select anything else. If I select a printer from Setup, I get another dialog which enables me to select: a printer driver (okay, although the options are limited PPD File: Not sure what this is for... Command: followed by nothing (???) I selected a suitable printer driver and closed this dialog. Then select the print button, I'm prompted with a dialog box looking for a file name.

Printing
I found the answer to this on this list last year. I didn't need it then, I need it now, though. How do I get the Gimp to print? The 1.0.4 RPM and source versions only allowed me to print to a file. Same with the 1.1.24 I am using now. Before, I eventually got one of the 1.0.4 versions to print properly, but I can't remember how. One of my major uses for the Gimp is to print out postcards, so it is imperative that I get it working again. I really hate the thought of booting windows and using my old Corel Photo-Paint (although the Linux version looks pretty good). dj __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Those Lexmark low-end printers are WinPrinters (using special win op codes and the CPU to do a lot of their work) which is why they are cheap. There is very very basic rudimentary support for a few Lexmark's under Linux if this is the case, then the only option is to do what i have done, email Lexmark about getting Linux support!!! alan

gimp 1.1.22 and printing
Just installed gimp 1.1.22 and sane. When I select file->print none of my printers show up in the drop down printers box. If I select setup, there's a list of printers as well as postscript 1 or 2 options. Still no way to associate any of these printers with my existing printers. What gives? 1.0.4 gimp automagically recognized both lp and lp0 printers I've got setup. -- Until later: Geoffrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft != Innovation

Re: Printing multiple copies
The "down and dirty" way of doing this would be to increase the canvas to the proper size so that it would take an entire printed page and then past copies of your image in a 4-up or 2-up arrangement. Example for a 300 DPI printer: Make a new canvas 2400x3000 (8x10 inches on your printer) Paste in copies of your image and arrange them so they fit nicely. Send it to the printer. You were probably looking for an automated way of doing this and there may indeed be a script or something but this is how I do it. Enjoy! Oh yeah...

Lost Printing Capability
Friends, I have been using GIMP to be printing my gif files for about 1 year. I didnt think that I changed/added anything, but I can no longer print from gimp. I use the RH printtool to test the printer and everything looks ok. When I print to a file, the lpr the file, I dont get the resolution that I use to have ( 720 dpi). Other apps (i.e. Staroffice) prints just fine. I am using gimp 1.0.4 on RH 6.1. Epson color stylus 440 Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: My needs for printing photographies
> - calibration I have no experience or knowledge about this. > - use of special inks Ghostscript 7.0 (mid-2000, testing probably starting in Q2 of 2000) will support the PostScript DeviceN color space, which will allow drivers to have inks other than the primaries and make those inks visible at the PostScript level. However, it appears that what you want is to convert a standard color space (maybe a CIE space) for rendering with a set of inks that may have unusual properties. Unfortunately, PostScript currently provides no way to do this -- when rendering a CIE color, the only supported output color spaces are DeviceRGB and DeviceCMYK. I consider this a shocking oversight, and I expected it to be fixed in PostScript LanguageLevel 3, but it wasn't. I suspect that Adobe intends to use ICCBased color spaces for this (see below). Ghostscript 7.0 will also almost certainly support ICCBased color spaces. These are not yet part of PostScript LanguageLevel 3, but they are part of PDF 1.3, and I expect them to show up in Adobe PostScript release 3012. (This is a pure guess, I have no inside knowledge about this.) I am not familiar enough with the ICC color profile specification to know whether this requires adding support for arbitrary device color spaces, but I would expect that it does. If you would like to discuss further the applicability of Ghostscript to your project, please feel free to e-mail me privately, or to continue the discussion on this list, whichever you prefer. -- L.

Do you think that this is really possible (without a lot of work)? http://www.regix.com/regisr/photoq.html Interesting site. BTW, I've put a new version of my version of the Gimp print plugin (originally written by Mike Sweet) in http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/print.tar.gz (requires 1.1.10). My plugin does 6-color output (for the Stylus Photo 700/EX), and it's heavily tunable (contrast, brightness, saturation, gamma correction, two methods of generating the lookup table, RGB levels). It should handle inks with different color balances reasonably well. What it doesn't do yet: 1) Save interesting settings 2) Allow definition and saving of particular sets of settings 3) Use software weaving (it uses MicroWeave, which generates some banding in the output and is slow) 4) Lots of cleanup I still don't understand why you've had problems with this plugin, though; it works fine for me. -- Robert Krawitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton

Try setting the gimp's print plug-in to one of the HP Deskjet options instead of Postscript (in the printer dialog, choose setup, then in that dialog, choose an appropriate driver - I believe theres an HP Deskjet 600 series option). You shouldn't need to change anything else. I can't say whether this will really produce better output, but its easy to try. later, Andrew
