Re: gimp and printing
Hi.I think you should create a system printer, before to try to print directly from Gimp.You can use your windows-manager UI (for Gnome is gnome-cups-manager ) or the Web interface, pointing your browser to ' http://localhost:631' (default CUPS configuration).Hope it helps you.On 5/13/06, LeVA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hi!I want to print to a hp deskjet 710c with gimp-2.2.

Try to print something. If it does not work, make sure that your have really setup CUPS correctly. Check if hp-toolbox is not complaining about anything.

There may be other reasons, but you should install hplip anyway, as it contains CUPS backend for HP printers, a driver as you may call it. It also contains various nice to have tools for ink level monitoring, color calibration, etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
