I've never been able to print custom sizes with my HP printer and HPLIP. Not with Gimp or anything else. Anything other than the printer's built-in formats results in either cups disabling the printer, or a messed-up output. My printer is not a photo printer, it's a business-class network laser printer, so I can't even print pictures because there are no built-in picture sizes available for me to choose from. This is despite the fact that my printer has a built-in card reader and a dedicated picture-printing function. I can't even select custom sizes on the printer itself, disregarding HPLIP altogether. I've been contemplating buying a picture printer specifically for making prints of my pictures without having to drive to the store all the time. -- Frank Gore Project Manager www.projectpontiac.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
