Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mike,

I haven't had this problem but qtcups is fussy about the resolution setting
and will produce odd results if the image resolution and the resolution set
in qtcups are not the same (whole numbers). There is a Linux program that
may help to check the resolution. In an open terminal try entering

    identify -format "%w %h %x %q"  name of image (e.g. foo.tif) The first
two figures are the height and width in pixels, the third is the image
resolution and the last is the bit depth. If you would like I can script it
for you and send you a url you can download from.

There are other programs you can print from. A more direct approach than
qtcups is to use David Wroblewski's qpr script which is available in the
files. If you are using a different printer from a 2200 then you would need
to edit the printer setting (line 11) in it with gedit or the like.

No question using QTR-Linux is not like printing directly from PostScript
but I have found the results to be worth the grief. Chacon a son gout

  Subject: [Digital BW] QTR Linux and qtcups impressions


  Well, I've installed Redhat 9, got QTR installed and working, and
  produced a reasonable set of curves for a first attempt. So far so
  good!

  If qtcups is the best way of printing, I'll give up and go back to
  paul Roark's curves, even if they aren't perfect for the papers I am
  using. I can't predict how qtcups will print something, despite double
  checking every setting before starting to print. At the moment it
  refuses to print a portrait image on A4 despite it being the right
  size, set centred, borders to default ... It prints it landscape
  across two pages, split in the middle. I think it ignores what you set
  in the interface for orientation, and uses whatever is set as the
  default, but i'm too fed up with it to test any further today.

  Is there an application to print that actually works?

  thanks for any advice!
