[Gimp-user] gimp colors
I've been trying for days to print a small 4x6 picture that I drew in gimp. I've even spent quite a bit of $ putting new print cartridges in my printer, even though they were not empty. Just trying to cover everything I can think of. The picture just comes out pink. There should be no pink in this picture. I have lots of trashed pages printed with Gimp, one with LibreOffice tex, one with LibreOffice Draw. There are also thin vertical white lines on the print. It looks fine if Print Preview. All settings on both file and printer are set to Best. RGB color. Using Linux, Suse 12, gimp 2.6.11, printer Epson Stylus 1400. Thanks for any ideas. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

I would try this: - export the image as a JPEG, in the original size and good quality. - import that image into a Libre Office text document with the size of your paper as the document size - print that from Libre Office. If this comes out OK, GIMP is the culprit, if not, then it's Linux or your printer. These white stripes can be caused by a not properly aligned print head. I hope this helps!

Thanks Rolf, I'm not sure whether you overlooked that I'd already done that, or whether what you're suggesting is somehow different from what I did.

Thanks Rolf, I'm not sure whether you overlooked that I'd already done that, or whether what you're suggesting is somehow different from what I did. How was your printer configured in cups? (cups stands for common unix printing system). I use Linux too (Gentoo) and for printing cups + gutenprint. I'm sure Suse has gutenprint-gimp in it's repository. You'll have to configure it yourself. If you haven't done this or don't know how to do it just holler.
