How to print pictures with Gimp in Slacko? [Solved]
How to print pictures with Gimp in Slacko? [Solved]
I need a little help with my gimp 2.6.6 . It is not sending content to my printer when I select 'print' although the printer does start up and prints a blank page. I searched pet dependencies and 3 missing Libs were listed ( libwmf-0.2.so.7 , libpoppler-glib.so.3 and libaa.so.1) Is installing one or all of these what it takes? They are called plugins on the missing dependency list. (yes, printer has ink and prints docs)

What Puppy are you using? Where did you get the Gimp package?
It may be less trouble to save your work as a JPG or PNG and print it with PeasyPrint.

I am using slacko5.3.1 , got gimp from my desktop 'slickpet' I don't have peasyprint or can't find it. It loolks like a handy thing to have for camera pics. I still would like to be able to print from Gimp though.rcrsn51 wrote:What Puppy are you using? Where did you get the Gimp package?

GIMP Printing
I've been using GIMP for years and have not experienced this issue.
When you select "print" from the menu, do you get a pop up window which allows you to set up the parameters for printing? In this menu, you have under the General Settings, a place to select your printer, or to print to file. This may be your problem... it may be printing to a file by default.
Also, check the rest of the settings to further fine tune your printer, paper, etc.
Now, if you do not get the pop up window, I would delete your original GIMP and re-install it to see if that solves the problem.

I may just uninstall it and try another. don't want to fool with those three missing libs thanks for the helprcrsn51 wrote:I checked myself in Slacko and it definitely doesn't work.

Can't print from Gimp-2.7.1-w5 (and others)
Nothing appears in the print preview and nothing is printed but the printer gives me a blank page.
I know - this is an "unstable" release, but it came with my package manager for RacyNop-5.2.2, and it does everyting I want except print. Including the new direct text input and single screen. Who knows when Gimp-8 will actually emerge or whether it will work for me when it does . . . Why am I using RacyNop - don't ask; I do have good reasons.
I've tried all the Gimp-7s I can find and they all need files that I can't find. Example:
In this case it's libavformat.so.52 I can't find.
I also tried Gimp-2.7.2 as noted just above, both .pet and .sfs with comparable results but I don't remember the missing files.
Yes, there are lots of workarounds, like peasyprint, printoxx (fine programs), LO-Impress, etc. but i really am used to printing directly from Gimp. So humor me if you have suggestions. Thanks!

If you look in /usr/lib, you will see libavformat.so.53. So you need a symlink
Code: Select all
ln -s libavformat.so.53 libavformat.so.52
The symlink took, but the terminal message and print symptoms look the same.
EDIT: No, there's a broken link at
I tried installing gegl-0.1.2-q1 and gegl-0.1.2-w5. No difference.
is present.
EDIT: No, there's a broken link at
Code: Select all
/root/libavformat.so.52
Code: Select all

Is this right?
See the edit to the previous that there is a broken link at

Sorry I'm a bit thick-headed. I deleted the broken link in /root and hopefully put the link in correctly this time.
Problem still the same.
This is what I see in /usr/lib.
Thanks very much for your patience. It's getting late - more so for you!
