For Linux QTR users:

I've asked Martin to post a bash script in the files section 
called qpr. This allows one to print images from the 
command line. Once invoked with

    qpr <image file>

it collects the size and bit depth of the image using the 
"identify" command and then queries on the terminal for the 
print parameters. When it has finished it presents an "lpr" 
command for examination and execution, which you can then 
approve or cancel. If the image will exceed the bounds of 
the page or isn't an 8 bit file, it refuses to print. 

I like printing this way because once the lpr command is 
generated, I can cut and paste it into a file and keep it 
along with the image, so I don't have to remember what 
options I selected in graphical programs like qtcups.

In order for it to work, you need to use the bash shell, and 
have the 'identify' program installed on your system from the 
ImageMagick package (which was in the Redhat 9 distribution.) 

Linux newbies should remember that you must enable execute 
permission on the file with "chmod a+x qpr" once you've 
downloaded it and put it somewhere on your path.

Enjoy,
David
