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) Last edited by chekrout on Sun 17 Jun 2012, 08:49; edited 1 time in total |

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. Last edited by chekrout on Fri 15 Jun 2012, 10:21; edited 1 time in total |

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 checked myself in Slacko and it definitely doesn't work. Even Print Preview and Print to File make a blank page. |

Found the solution. I uninstalled Gimp 2.6.6 and installed ver. 2.7.2 now it works correctly and prints correctly

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! |

This may be a case of Gimp wanting CUPS 1.4 instead of your 1.3.11. |

Thanks, rcrsn51, Actually I've been using Cups-1.4.4 for a long time since it was at one point needed for LibreOffice. An earlier Gimp-2.6 printed fine then with QuirkyNop-1.2, so it may be a Racy deficiency. |

If you look in /usr/lib, you will see libavformat.so.53. So you need a symlink

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.
