Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Canon CP1300

[Stuart T R. <st...@st...>]

I have done some more testing today and the only way I have found to get 
a borderless printout on the CP1300 from Linux is to use Turboprint 
(which I already use anyway) as it supports a USB connection for the 
CP1300. None of the options in normal CUPS/Gutenprint work to allow 
borderless printing. Sadly Turboprint does not support wireless printing 
using the CP1300.

If anyone has any ideas as to how to progress getting CUPS etc to 
properly support borderless printing please let me know.
