Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Gutenprint and perhaps gimp for tiling => can't access to A3

[Patrick <pat...@ne...>]

Hi

Thank you very much for your multiples answers last week. The one about the png format is irrelevant as the problem I had some
time ago is due to an old png plugin from 2005 that grabbed the file before png-file.

I the meantime, I found some tiling software but I realized since it is for sewing, it is better to tile by hand and manage the
fitting for the sheets.

I am pretty sure, I am going to write some scripts to compute some point found with gimp in order to add some fitting lines, crop
and repave using image/graphics magick


It looks like if the gimp page is smaller than the paper, gutenprint allow to scale and move with a large freedom, but if the gimp
page is bigger, I have no other choices than to scale with a ratio <100%. correct? That is the meaning of the last question, I
expected to print many times while moving the crop rectangle.


I however have a problem with my hp officejet 7110. The A3 or A3+ paper size is not in the list, I even tried to add another size
(and recompiled) as, in France, we have 914mm rolls (+-3feet/1yard) in which I can cut 330mm strips and recut in 2. that make a
format A3+ in width and A3half+ in length which is nice (portrait mode) for sewing.

Is there a paper limits in the drivers and the 7110 has been wrongly registered as an A4 printer?
