Hi, Hi,
I'm new to linux and this evening attempted to print some of my photos...
First I tried the newest Picasa under my openSUSE 10.0, but it resulted _draft_ quality _B/W_ prints, even that 1200 DPI has been setup generally for our HP DeskJet 5940. Picasa's template is generally OK, because could place easily e.g. four of my photos on a single A4 page, but the draft quality I couldn't overcome. Of course I tried the options (theoretically) resulting better quality printouts and also checked the printer's default settings, which was normal quality/color. Therefore have no idea, how to work around this, because Picasa has quite limited print setup options under Linux and search at Google didn't help at all.
At the end we managed to print the above four images via an OpenOffice.org template my boyfriend prepared few months ago and like that we succeeded. With Gimp I had bad experience in the past, so this way was not tried now.
Would you give me please any hints/ideas on your preference when printing photos; I would be quite interested to hear some possibili- ties.
Try digiKam. After you import all of your photos, go to: Album -> Export -> Print Wizard. I find it excelent. Hope it's what you wanted.
Thank you, Agnes
