I need help with printing from gimp and sodipodi!!!

onami · 2004-09-01 20:19:58

sodipodi just does not print, and nor does gimp!!!
i have a hp deskjet 3320 printer which is properly set up, all other apps seem to print fine, but I need those two!!!

i always first export from sodipodi to png with a normal printer resolution and then print it

at least this is a workaround ;-)

I need to print from gimp.
My exports from sodipodi to a png are makeing a black background , and only the gradients seem to apear .

onami · 2004-09-01 20:39:28

the black background was my fault!!!!
but I want to print from sodipodi and gimp.
a winshit user does not have to switch apps in order to print :x

this is strange

for gimp, you should edit the command gimp uses to print - this at least i needed (remove almost all other parameters and use only lpr -Pprintername instead - and make sure gimp-print is installed)

e.g. i use

lpr -Plj1100

just made a pic to explain better:

just tried to print in sodipodi using the same command

the outlines are printed ok, but gradients are not at all printed (white)

i have a black/white laser, so maybe it's some problem that it must be set to support gradients - no idea

but in general printing from sodipodi works also

lpr -Pprintername

maybe someone should add this to the wiki

it works from gimp, from sodipodi I get this from the terminal I started it from :

sodipodi
lpr: unable to print file: client-error-not-found

onami · 2004-09-04 12:44:13

also if from shell:

lpr -P<printer_name> <text file>

same error.
but

lp <text file> | pr

works
