gimp-print vs gutenprint

Cagnulein · 2006-08-09 08:28:09

Hi folks, i have a problem printing from gimp: he says that the print plugin is broken...i've looked into the pacman.log and i found gimp-print has been removed by gutenprint...

Is that normal?

Gimp Error

Yes, it is normal

Cagnulein · 2006-08-09 13:10:26

Ok,but how can print with gimp now?

gutenprint is the replacement for gimp-print. You shouldn't have any problems with printing from gimp.

He is right. I can't find even find a print dialog in the gimp. The reason is that gimp-print always included the printing plugin for the gimp. And gutenprint is configured with the option --without-gimp2. This means that it is now impossible to print from within gimp.

thx man

following your discorver i've tried to recompile gutenprint without the flag but it gives me an error:

in the meanwhile i'll try to discover what is the cause of this problem.

i've solved the compiling problem using this flag

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-samples --with-cups --without-translated-ppds

but the problem doesn't go away on gimp

you are correct. this does suck because gimp-print is no longer available.

This sucks indeed! :evil:

Gullible Jones · 2006-08-11 00:42:19

Well? File a bug report, if you haven't already! :shock:

Cagnulein · 2006-08-11 09:09:00

ok, i wanted to know if someone else has got the same problem..http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5206

The_Connaisseur · 2006-08-11 11:59:39

In the meantime I think it's wise to fall back to gimp-print for production purposes.

It's still on the 0.7.1 ISO-File. 8)

tpowa · 2006-08-11 13:42:06

new packages fixes this stuff, next time post earlier on bug tracker, forum is not the right place for such stuff, ppl might miss it.

scarecrow · 2006-08-11 15:02:53

Yep, works now... thanks.
I have to manually point now to gutenprint the location of the turboprint .ppd files (it was not necessary with gimp-print), but it does work.

Cagnulein · 2006-08-11 15:19:23
