Package: gimp-print
Version: 4.3.99+cvs20050801-1
Severity: important
The new version of the Output tab for printing from gimp is *anything* but
self-explicative, and the documentation has not been upgraded yet. Other
than reading the source, how is one supposed to understand exactly what
"Image type" does (i.e. what are the presets?) and the Manual control mode
becomes trial and error without the documentation (especially for the Color
correction control).
Wrong settings on that dialog results in extremely poor printing (e.g. if
you send any sort of dirthered output to a HP high-quality 1200DPI inkjet
such as those supported by HPLIP/HPIJS, instead of the non-dirthered data,
the printout will be unusable, because the device will try to dirther the
already dirthered data). Thus, proper documentation for this stuff is very
important.
