Using PrintFab2 with Gimp3 on MacBook M4

[Timotheus]

I really like TurboPrint on my Linux machine, it's a great program and easy to use. But PrintFab on MacOS Sequoia I find a real challenge. Briefly, although PrintFab is my default printer, in Gimp 3 there is no entry for PrintFab in the list of printers. So how do I select PrintFab and adjust the settings?

I'll answer my own question. Other programs use PrintFab successfully, but not Gimp 3. So I shall avoid Gimp for printing.

Hello,

in the GIMP 3 print dialog, the PrintFab printer is listed with a shorter name:

"l8050" is the internal print queue name that is usually only used when printing from a Terminal window with command line tools such as "lp".

Thank you. However, I still cannot find how to access my named and saved settings. No problem with Preview where there is a preset dropdown menu.

GIMP doesn't use the standard macOS print dialog so it is not possible to use the print presets. However, we are working on a new preview and print layout app for PrintFab that has its own presets. I can send you a download link for the beta version if you are interested.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes, I would be interested in the beta software.
