The Gimp print dialog box allows me to choose any of my printers that I have set up with Cups. I can choose media size & do some color adjustments etc. but it seems the resolution & media type are set by Cups for the printer. > I have dpkg-reconfigure gimp1.2 in the hope it will pick up the later > added gimp print but to no avail. > > Has this gotsomething to do with a "PPD" file, is this a printer driver > file ?

The closesest I have come is to change them with Kprinter but this works only for apps that use Krinter for printing, afaik mostly the KDE apps. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
