Sorry to hear about the problem. Printing issues are fairly difficult for us to diagnose, since printers are all a little different and we only have one in the office. We haven't tested with 4x6 images in some time. Are you able to replicate this issue with a print-to-pdf driver by any chance? Also, what printer and printer driver are you using? Do the later versions of Shotwell have more in the way of print options? > Can anyone suggest what I might try to get full bleed on 100x150mm? > Nothing has been done with printing since 0.9, unfortunately! - Eric _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
