TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hello, the new version TurboPrint 2.10 is now available for download - it fixes the problem with TurboPrint Daemon not being started at boot time on Ubuntu 9.04. I could not reproduce the problem with pages being shifted on the page. However, I noticed the following strange behaviour: When printing ...

Hello, there is a known problem with Ubuntu 9.04: TurboPrint Monitor reports "No connection to turboprint daemon", but printing is possible. This is fixed in the new version TurboPrint 2.10. However, there are no known problems with network printing (LPD / socket). What is displayed in the...

Hello, there is actually a issue with Ubuntu 9.04 and the TurboPrint GIMP print plugin. This will be fixed in the next TurboPrint release (in the next days). Meanwhile you can print with GIMP and TurboPrint using the standard "print.." dialog of GIMP. EDIT: TurboPrint 2.10 with a new print...

Hello,

all inks are supported.

In the "ink control" page in TurboPrint Control Center there are only sliders to limit dark colors (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) - the slider "Photo inks" controls the usage of gray, light magenta and light cyan.

Hello, this is supported, but still "experimental": To create a profile for a CD/DVD, open TurboPrint Control Center, button "Profiles" and add a new profile entry with "Type of paper"="CD printable" (note: the button "Print ink limit test row" is no...

You can enter the printer connection manually in TurboPrint Setup. Choose "other" as port and enter "usb://Canon/Pro9000" as URI as shown in your command line output.

Hello, what page format did you set in OpenOffice for your document? I mean not the paper size in the print dialogs but the page size in the document page setup. OpenOffice seems to always select the paper format fitting best to your document format regardless what is selected in any print dialog. S...

Hello,

yes, the "Gray Scale" mode uses only the black cartridge, not the grey cartridge.

The "Gray photo" mode for the Pro9500 driver is different from the iP5200 driver and should produce the desired results - prints that don't have a color cast and metamerism effects.

Hello davet, printer detection on the USB port is not directly performed by TurboPrint but by some system drivers. Probably your printer is not detected by the system printer setup either? Thus a reinstallation of TurboPrint will not solve your problem. By entering the following command in a shell w...

Hello, it is possible to print black&white photos using (almost) only black & gray ink: Set color mode to "Gray Photo" in TurboPrint Control Center ("Configure" -> tab "Color"). A bit of Cyan / Magenta ink is be added for neutral gray - you can use the "Col...

Hello, A) It is no problem to combine both settings: "Perception Inksave" is a moderate ink saving setting. It limits maximum ink application and replaces color inks by black ink (for grey / dark colors) but tries to maintain the intensity of the output. On top of that you can use the &quo...

Hello toxamus, did you actually set your printer up in TurboPrint Control? Probably there is already a printer driver installed that is not using TurboPrint. When selecting a non-TurboPrint driver in TurboPrint Monitor the buttons "Toolbox" and "TurboPrint Config" are disabled. T...

Before investigating the problem with glabels: Can you check if printing to CD works properly from GIMP or OpenOffice Draw? In OpenOffice Draw, create a new document with 14x14cm page size and 1cm margins. In the OO print dialog, button "Properties...", choose "PageSize"="CD...
