GIMP and TurboPrint
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 5:42 am
I've just installed TurboPrint on an i386 PC running Ubuntu 6.06 (all upto date as of 18 Oct 06) and have run into a problem printing from the GIMP.
A test page from the System->Printing->iP1600->properties prints correctly.
If I print from Eye of Gnome evereything works fine. The installed printer, a Canon Pixma iP1600, is displayed as a choice in the Print dialog along with the Create a PDF document and Generic Postscript, and my test .bmp file prints correctly.
However when I open the same file in the GIMP and attempt to print it the Print dialog box (entitled <file name> - Print v5.0.0-rc2 - 16 Jan 2006) only offers the choice of "Printer" for Printer Name and displays Printer Model: BJC 250. If I attempt to add a New Printer and run Setup Printer my choices for Printer Make: Canon do not include the iP1600 or the other printer for which I purchased TurboPrint, the i250, (I haven't tried hooking the i250 up yet.)
Printing from the GIMP worked correctly with my old printer, an Epson Color 500. I have cupsys-driver-gutenprint, foomatic-db-gutenprint, gimp-print (Gutenprint) and ijsgutenprint (all v. 5.0.0-rc2) installed.
Any suggestions?
