[Gimp-print-devel] User-defined Formats in gutenprint driver Epson Stylus Pro 3880, icc-Profiles

[h***@t-online.de]

Hello,

i'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and want to set up the printer driver for the
Epson Stylus Pro 3880. But i find no way, to set up the user definded
formats for printing long A3-fotos (panoramas) in the driver. In the media
size button (Mediengröße (german)) there is user defined (Benutzerdefiniert
(german)) selectable, but no opinion to set up the dimensions for the user
defined formats. How can i do it?

How can I use icc-profiles in the gutenprint driver, so that the printer
manages colour management and not the application (e.g. gimp)). This has
the advantage that all programs wich could send a print command to the
printer is carried out with the right colours.


Would be glad for an answer!

Kind regards
Heinz

What application are you printing from? Application print dialogs
need to provide the inputs for custom page sizes.

Qt applications in particular can only print known sizes (see
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58733).

This needs to be done by applications.

You would also need to create ICC profiles for your particular
printing combination; the ICC profiles provided by printer and paper
vendors aren't useful with Gutenprint due to driver differences.
