I'm very happy with the way KDE, kppp, and Netscape interact. I get a major blast from playing/using with the Gimp, emacs,..., but when it comes to printing, well, I get an entire page shrunken down to a quarter page, and there's not even consecutive "pages" on the same sheet. It's nice sharp print, and I feel kinda proud I can read it, but there are times when I have to put it on the other side of a pitcher of water to be certain.<g>
I'm using an HP DJ 890.... I set it up using Yast. I chose "letter," and left it at 300x300dpi. It prints color, but when printing from XV, the jpg images from Gimp are shrunken as is text. I looked at the .aps... file and changed to Feature=1, but there was no change (even after rebooting,... I killed the lpd and brought it back to save a rebooting, but when that didn't work, I thought it was worth a reboot.)
I've also never gotten the thing to even print anything from the Gimp menu. The box in the print dialogue box is always solid black.
for this in GIMP, if it offers you the ability to print to a file, I have done the following: elect appropriate printer driver from the print menu (by default it offers a postscript "driver") print to a file, whem prompted for a filename use the device name for your printer (ie: /dev/lp1) it will then print as if it were intended to :)
Any help would be much appreciated. I've checked the SuSE database and have looked at DejaNews, as well. I doubt I'm the only one to have this problem, and often I'd wait for someone else to speak up, but this is of enough interest that I decided to "speak up."
Thanks very much for any assistance.
