Set up a queue and tried commandline printing and got +nowhere. Gqview simple gave up and stopped the job but supplied a huge +pile of diagnostics with the summary "There's no answer to this!" or +similar words. Installed gwenview and managed to print a jpeg file +without any difficulty. It came out a bit dark but the colour balance +looked OK. A bit of twiddling with the gamma would help (used +judiciously so as not to distort the colours). + +For ten years or more I have used command-line printing without much +trouble but of late it seems that CUPS or HPLIP or both ignore +command-line options like position and scaling so I gave up on +photoprinting. Gqview and the gimp just acted as a wrapper for the lpr +command and suffered from the same problems with sizing and positioning. + +Will try gwenview on my Photosmart Premium C310. Photocopies look fine, +with a bit of a shift in the colour brightness (hue?), as usual towards +the darker side so I would expect photo printing to be similar. + +I had an HP7260 at one time and that had no difficulty with lpr. All it +needed was the options for orientation and scaling (100% by default, +full page to the margins). Centring was center by default and I did not +mess with that. + +Len + + + + +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="007992.html">[Mageia-discuss] HP Printer +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="008001.html">[Mageia-discuss] HP Printer +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#7999">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#7999">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#7999">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#7999">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
