[SOLVED] Slacko 5.3.1 gimp not printing

seaguy · 06-16-2012, 07:22 AM

I installed gimp 2.6 from the slickpet choices and thought it was running fine until I tried to print. Prints a blank page. Print Preview shows a blank page. Others have had same prob.Anyone had this problem and found a solution?
thanks,Rich

I'm running foo2zjs under cups and cups prints from gimp, but gimp-print won't. I never wasted a second on it.

IIRC, the default printer came up as something stupid, but once you fix that it goes.

Thanks for the reply...don't understand cups yet. after Contrl/p I select my printer and print for now. Don't know IIRC either ....a chat type?

There's often a system-config-printer script and there's always

http://localhost:631

It's manageable from there

I uninstalled ver2.6.6 and installed Gimp 2.7.2 and now it prints....problem solved
