Anders;
Earlier I expressed concerns that Photoprint appeared unable to support
CUPS print management and thus would be unsuitable for general usage, so
I dropped a line to the developer who assured me as follows:
<< PhotoPrint can be used with CUPS drivers by picking "Adobe Postscript
Level 2" as the printer driver. Assuming PhotoPrint has been built with
libcups support, when you select a printer queue PhotoPrint will examine
that queue's PPD file and try and identify which driver has been used.
If it's a Gutenprint-driven queue then it will attempt to select the
correct Gutenprint driver automatically. Otherwise, it automatically
selects the Adobe Postscript Level 2 driver. Provided both the
Gutenprint and PhotoPrint builds are new enough, it can also make
printer-specific options found in the PPD file available through the
print setup dialog.>>
I have since tried the package, on my rather poorly supported HP
printer, and surprisingly it did work although the color will need some
adjustment. I would be interested to get reactions from others as to how
they find this package.
Might make an interesting plug-in when you have nothing else to do!
I'll put it on my list. The ONE concern I've had about this is that when
we export a photo to GIMP, Facebook, Picasa or whatever, we make a
temporary photo and make sure it is deleted when done. We cannot do this
with photoprint as we don't know when it's done working with the photos.
The way could be to tell photoprint to delete the photos when it's done
using them, but this requires changes in photoprint and a lot of wait
time for the package to go into distributions...we can of cause put it
into our PPA, but still...
The easy way is just to export the photos to /tmp/ and give them to
photoprint and have the photos deleted manually or by reboot (depending
on distribution)...
