in GIMP when print size is set to 120mm, and Turboprint CD (either CD/DVD or CD borderless) media is chosen it results in a 140mm print area and the resulting print to disc is offset diagonally.
CD layout in the driver is set to 140mm and it should be 120mm. Is there a way to change this in Turboprint? I see from old forum posts that in earlier versions there was an option to modify paper sizes, I can't seem to change this in the Layout tab.
Driver CD print size is wrong
Re: Driver CD print size is wrong
Hello, it is possible to edit CD size and position in TurboPrint Control, dialog "Sizes".
Re: Driver CD print size is wrong
But the page size is uneditable? It is fixed at 14cm and there is no way to change it?

Re: Driver CD print size is wrong
Yes, as described in the TurboPrint PDF manual, CD printing is done with a fixed page size of 14x14cm (larger than any printable CD).
Would you like to print on other material than an actual CD/DVD using the CD tray?

14.3 CD / DVD printing
TurboPrint supports printing on CD / DVD printable media for most printers that
offer this functionality. We recommend the application “LibreOffice Draw” to
create the CD / DVD layout – or the image editor “GIMP” if you want to print a
photo on a CD / DVD.
Setting up the page layout for CD / DVD printing
Open the page layout dialog (“Format” → “Page...”) and enter 14cm as page
width and height, then set all page margins to 1cm (left / right / top / bottom) so
that a printable area of 12x12cm remains.
If you are printing from GIMP, simply choose the page size “CD / DVD”.
Making test prints to determine the correct print position
We recommend to print crosslines onto an old CD. Thus you can determine if
any adjustments to the print position or the inner / outer margins are necessary.
Adjusting the CD layout in TurboPrint's pagesize editor
You can adjust the inner and outer margins and the print position for CD / DVD
printing in TurboPrint Control Center, button “Sizes” – see chapter “9. Custom
page size editor”.
Design a CD label with LibreOffice Draw
Now you can design your CD, e.g. add an image (“Insert” -> “Picture” -> “From
file...”) or text (Toolbar -> Text Tool). The center hole and the outer margin will
automatically be “masked out” when printing.
Print settings
Make sure that the following print settings are correct in the LibreOffice print
dialog:
Page size – choose “CD / DVD”
Media type – from the print dialog, open “Properties” -> “Device” and set
“Media Type” to “CD printable”
Print quality – a high print quality is recommended. If the printout has visible
grain or banding even in the highest print quality mode, you should check if the
print head is working properly by printing a “Nozzle test page” from TurboPrint
control center, function “Toolbox” (see chapter “7.3 Nozzle Check”).
