[hpoj-devel] Photo printing with G85

[Roland D. <rol...@gm...>]

Hi, I have an HP OfficeJet G85 hooked up to a system running Debian Sarge with
hpoj 0.91-3, hpijs 1.7-1 and CUPS 1.1.20final+rc1-10.  For the most
part, printing
(and scanning) work great, but I'm having trouble with photo printing.

I have been able to print 4x6 photo quality images onto photo paper using a
command line like

    jpegtopnm x.jpg | pnmtops -imagewidth 4 -imageheight 6 -width 4
-height 6 | lpr

however this leaves some white border around the edges of the paper.

I do have 4x6 photo paper with tear-off edges, but I have never been able to get
the image positioned correctly to do full bleed printing (the image is
either cut
off or so far off that a lot of it falls onto the tear-off edges).

I also have not been able to print onto 8x10 photo paper -- only a 4x6 piece of
the image gets printed.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to print photos?

Thanks,
  Roland
