Re: Gimp won't reduce graphics to Print Size on printing

["Joe Ward" <bluegrass_joe@xxxxxxxxx>]

     Try this:
         Open the original file in Gimp, and when it is on the screen. click on image, and then scale image. In the dialog box that opens, choose inches in the pixes/inches box, and change the width to the width of the paper you have to print on. Make sure the height will fit, too. If not, change the height to what will fit, and the width will follow.
Then click on scale.  Then print.   -Joe Ward

  Subject:  Gimp won't reduce graphics to Print Size on printing



  My sister-in-law sent me some JPEG photo files that displayed rather 
  large on the monitor and clearly were not going to fit the photo paper I 
  had available. I opened both Image Size and Print Size and changed the 
  resolution from 90dpi to 300dpi, whereupon the millimetre dimensions 
  reduced sufficiently to fit the paper.

  The RGB --> CMYK printer is an Epson CX6900F multifunction that has a 
  page preview function. When the photos were printed, the preview showed 
  only a small area from the upper left corner, i.e. the size/resolution 
  information saved in the JPEG files had been totally ignored. 
  Eventually I had to use (blush!) Microsoft Photo Editor, a freebie that 
  comes with Windows XP.

  What is going on?

  Windows XP SP3, Gimp 2.4.6

  Hedley
