[Gimp-user] Cannot print from Gimp
I am running Gimp 2.6.4 from Windows XP. If I try to print a 4 x 6 photo, setup selections to not stick for paper size/orientation. I select 4 x 6 in my Canon i960's setup dialog, and the preview window shows that 4 x 6 paper is selected. I can scale the photo to fit 4 x 6, but, when I click the button to actually print the picture, my Canon's preview window shows a 4 x 6 image in the upper left hand corner of an 8.5 x 11 page preview. If I press the button to complete the print job, the photo will fall-off the physical media (it's not printed in the proper position). My work around for now is to use another application for printing (CS4, Sony's Image Data Converter, etc.). Is this a bug or some other problem? Thanks.

Caruso -- measekite Had the same problem but never tried to solve it since I mostly use Linux. But Gimp on all OSs does have issues with printing and that is Gimp's achilles heal. You might want to download and install Gutenprint and use the gutenprint drivers. That may work but there may be other issues with paper sizes there also. I am not sure but it is at least something else to try. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If there are issues, then I'd like to know about them. Most likely it will turn out that the issue is not in GIMP, but in your printer driver. But if there are issues in the GIMP Print plug-in, or in the GtkPrint framework, then it is important that these are reported. You might even get your hands dirty yourself and look at the source code and try to fix them. After all this is Free Software and we give you the source code exactly for this purpose.
