CHanging a string in postscript is not even a hack - it is the norm. :-) And certaily lpr would not have trouble using postscript. you can simply save a postscript image with the gimp, and inside the file, insert before the "showpage" command a few lines to draw your text. However, setting the font with that can be a bit tricky. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
