Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP won't support installed printer?
I also have had a problem printing from Gimp. I attempted to print an image and for my efforts I received a floor full of paper, some completely blank, others with a line of garbage at the top of the page. I printed the same image by displaying it in firefox and used its print feature. I never investigated it any further since I did get my picture, but I suspect someday I'll want to print directly from gimp so I'm very interested in following this thread. Jim.

I have my Canon Pixus iP3100 printer installed and working fin with Linux.

I'll have to try again. Since then I've changed from SuSE to Centos for other reasons. Jim.

If things don't work, the reason might be that you are using the old gimp-print plug-in, while you should nowadays be using the GIMP plug-in that comes with gutenprint 5.0.

Re: [Gimp-user] Problem with patterns
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/patterns /home/jwl/.gimp-2.2/patterns The former is where I'm trying to add the pattern. No -s on this directory. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-11-01 07:57 . I also attempted to add the file to the .gimp... directory but it still isn't showing up. I can open the file in gimp and it seems to show up just fine. I compared it to a good pattern and except for the dimensions it's equivalent as far as I can see. When I'm in the pattern screen, and click on a pattern, there is a short description of the pattern displayed, but I can't find any way to see that description when I'm editing a pattern in gimp. Is it possible my converted jpeg image doesn't have that dispaly info in it and that's why it isn't showing up?

Re: [Gimp-user] Problem with patterns
I found it. The images are ordered alphabetically by the comment. I didnt realize I had left the default comment of Gimp pattern in the image when I saved it. Sorry for the confusion. Jim.

[Gimp-user] Problem with patterns

[Gimp-user] Newbie needs direction wrt replacing text with grass
No, not MJ. I have a nice picture I'd like to print and frame but it has the stupid date/time string in yellow in the corner. I have subsequenly turned off the date stamp so that won't happen again. Fortunately, maybe, the stamp is in a field of nice green grass, so I was hoping somehow I could replace the solid color (yellow) of the stamp with something that looks like grass. Any suggestions on how I might go about that? I've used gimp for simple things, like brightness, contrast, and cropping but replacing colors and doing things with layers is beyond me at this time. Can anyone help? Thanks, Jim.
Re: [Gimp-user] Newbie needs direction wrt replacing text with grass
OK, OK, I'm convinced. The first time I read clone I thought it was a way to work on a copy of the original so I didn't screw it up. Now I get the message. It only takes about 5 swings of the 2x4 to get my attention. Thanks to all. I've learned something . While this isn't perfect I don't think the casual observer will notice. Since this is my first cloning experiment, I'm satisfied with the results. If anyone wants to see the results, check out http://65.13.27.163/sue/100_0323.jpg Thanks for the help.

Can anyone help? if i read your question correctly, this is a job for the clone tool.you give the clone tool a brush and ctl click on some of the grass nearto the area you wish to cover and make certain that Aligned is toggled in the Tool Options.carol
