[Gimp-print-devel] Left margin must not be less than 9.000000

[Ken M. <zar...@nt...>]

Hi,

I hope this is the right list to ask for help.  I've got an Epson
Photo R360 using 5.3.3 with cups-2.3.3 and gimp-2.10.20.  Ordinary
printing of text and photos appears to be ok, but -

I'm hoping to print some (tiny) signs for a model, white text on
blue background.  At this point I'm guessing about sizes, so I've
set up a page of A4 dimensions in gimp (actually 209.97 x 297.01
millimetres), put a big blue panel across the top part of the page,
and inserted various white text.

But when I use 'print with gutenprint' and tell it to use the image
size, I get: two messages:

 Left margin must not be less than 9.000000

and

 Print options not verified, cannot print.

In gimp, the ruler along the top is labelled to almost 2500
(pixels?) and the blue runs from about 50 to 2575, starting perhaps
25 below the top of the page.

The printer option for 'Shrink Page if Necessary to Fit Borders' was
set to 'Expand (use maximum page area)' and with that a photo
printed with a tiny white frame at the sides.

Changing to 'Shrink' makes no difference, it still reports the same
errors.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong, please, or alternatively is
it a gimp issue ?
