The gimp probably defaults images to something like 72dpi. if you have scanned at a higher dpi, it wont know, and will print it huge. just change the print dpi in the gimp to match that at which you scanned. look in the image-print size menu option allan On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 11:34 AM, gobo

I can't speak for Jeremy, but there is the general bug that gscan2pdf only shows options that it knows, which hides alot of nice compression, or image processing, or imprinter options provided by office scanners. allan On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 3:13 PM, Jeffrey Ratcliffe jeffrey.ratcliffe at
