[Tuxpaint-users] Print problem

[Phil A. <pam...@gm...>]

Hi all,

First, a big thanks to the Tuxpaint developers!  My kids really enjoy
the program.

Second,  I have a print problem:  The left and right edges of the
image are getting cut off when printing.  It seems that this only
occurs when the resolution is set greater than 800x600. Does anyone
know how to make it print right at higher resolutions?

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil.  What platform is this on?  I know there are still issues
printing from Tux Paint under OSX.

Have you tried adjusting print settings?  (Hold the [Alt] or
[Option] key as you click the 'Print' button in Tux Paint.)
Something like "fit to page" might be useful...?

Thanks and good luck!  Sorry for the bug! :(

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm using both Windows XP and Windows 2000. It sounds like a "fit to
page" option in the printer preferences should work.  But, I can't get
the printer window to pop up.  I tried running Tuxpaint in a window
(not fullscreen) and I tried having it always display the print
window, but nothing pops up.

Any ideas?

Hi Phil,

for reasons which escape me right now, there is a Windows-only option
called --printcfg which you need to add to the shortcut when launching
Tux Paint. This causes the "Show Printer" options in Tux Paint Config to
be honoured.

For example, the desktop shortcut "Target:" should be changed to this:

"C:\Program Files\TuxPaint\tuxpaint.exe" --printcfg

Alternatively, create a file in the TuxPaint directory above named
"tuxpaint.cfg" and put this line in it:

printcfg=yes

this will affect all users.

I guess this is a bug,

cheers,
John.

John,

Thanks! I get the print config dialog when I click on "Print".

Now I just have to set "fit to page" and the default for the printer
or show my kids how to set it up in the dialog.

Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Print problem

[kjarrett <kja...@co...>]

I have this same problem. I enabled the print dialog but our printer does not
have a fit to page option. Our students' work is not really printable due to
the truncation. Can someone help?

Do you have the problem when using it in 800x600 mode? Or only when
using a higher resolution? I was only having the print problem at
higher resolutions.
