Hi Marc,
from:
http://www.tuxpaint.org/docs/html/FAQ.html
Printing
* /Tux Paint won't print, gives an error, or prints garbage (Unix/Linux)/
Tux Paint prints by creating a PostScript rendition of the picture
and sending it to an external command. By default, this command is
the "lpr" printing tool.
If that program is not available (for example, you're using CUPS,
the Common Unix Printing System, and do not have "cups-lpr"
installed), you will need to specify an appropriate command using
the "printcommand" option in Tux Paint's configuration file. (See
the OPTIONS documentation
<http://www.tuxpaint.org/docs/html/OPTIONS.html>.)
/Note:/ Versions of Tux Paint prior to 0.9.15 used a different
default command for printing, "pngtopnm | pnmtops | lpr", as
Tux Paint output PNG format, rather than PostScript.
If you had changed your "printcommand" option prior to Tux Paint
0.9.15, you will need to go back and alter it to accept PostScript.
* /I get the message "You can't print yet!" when I go to print!/
The "print delay" option is on. You can only print once every
/X/ seconds.
If you're running Tux Paint from a command-line, make sure you're
not giving it a "|--printdelay=...|" option.
If you're running Tux Paint by double-clicking an icon, check the
properties of the icon to see if "|--printdelay=...|" is listed as a
command-line argument.
If a "|--printdelay=...|" option isn't being sent on the command
line, check Tux Paint's configuration file ("~/.tuxpaintrc" under
Linux and Unix, "tuxpaint.cfg" under Windows) for a line reading:
"|printdelay=...|".
Either remove that line, set the delay value to 0 (no delay), or
decrease the delay to a value you prefer. (See the OPTIONS
documentation <http://www.tuxpaint.org/docs/html/OPTIONS.html>).
Or, you can simply run Tux Paint with the command-line argument:
"|--printdelay=0|", which will override the configuration file's
setting, and allow unlimited printing. (You won't have to wait
between prints.)
Or use Tux Paint Config. and make sure "Print Delay" (under
"Printing") is set to "0 seconds."
* /I simply can't print! The button is greyed out!/
The "no print" option is on.
If you're running Tux Paint from a command-line, make sure you're
not giving it a "|--noprint|" option.
If you're running Tux Paint by double-clicking an icon, check the
properties of the icon to see if "|--noprint|" is listed as an argument.
If "|--noprint|" isn't on the command-line, check Tux Paint's
configuration file ("~/.tuxpaintrc" under Linux and Unix,
"tuxpaint.cfg" under Windows) for a line reading: "|noprint=yes|".
Either remove that line, or simply run Tux Paint with the
command-line argument: "|--print|", which will override the
configuration file's setting.
Or use Tux Paint Config. and make sure "Allow Printing" (under
"Printing") is checked.
