Hi,
I've been using Gimp for years but just started having problems printing jpeg.
If I go to print preview it fires up okular pdf viewer and apparently the file is jpeg wrapped in pdf.
If I go straight to print , I select landscape for this image, and I need to expand about 125% to get best use of paper.
However when it prints , it misses off the left ( now bottom ) of the image and leaves white paper above it. Again it looks like it is embedding the jpeg in pdf and then this is what is scaled including the white space at the top ( which in not part of my image but padding of the jpeg into ( I imagine ) a default pdf A4 "page".
image props tells me it is 2700 × 2068 pixels jpeg
linux file command also confirms as jpeg:
It is also taking forever ( like literally 2 min ) to send to printer.
If I print the same file from Firefox, I get the right size and placement when scaling output 125% and it's 4x faster sending to printer.
I have not done much work with Gimp recently. Is this really what it is supposed to do with a jpeg now ?
Also the preview tab in the Gimp print dialogue does NOT change with the scaling factor so it does not provide a preview !
I've been a great fan of Gimp over the years but this is not looking good.
Does anyone now what this is about ?
Gimp 2.10.24
Thanks.
