[Bug 45847] Re: Gimp-print in Dapper ignores settings when using Turboprint.

2006-09-04 Thread Dirk
This happens for me as well. This is particularly annoying as gimp printing both FC5 and Mandriva distros "just work" and the standard gimp Canon drivers only print (not as well as turboprint) up to 600 dpi when the printer will do 4800 dpi! They also get the image alignment wrong (at least for 6x4
