Is there a good photo printing tool available for Debian? I have a HP ePhotosmart B110a printer and want to print photo's on glossy photo paper (10x15 cm and 13x18 cm). Which program do you people advice and why? I've been trying a couple (digikam/F-spot/Photoprint) but they didn't satisfy me. It seems that these programs lack some handy options like the tools for Windows i've been working with in the past.
Simple question really. Can anyone recommend some decent photo printing software. I have tried Gnome Photo Printer and PhotoPrint. Photoprint would be perfect, but for some reason doesn't like my printer. Gnome Photo Printer doesn't give me the control I need over layout, or resolution, paper type, etc. Shotwell and Gthumb don't seem to have the facility to print multiple photos in one go on a single sheet. So I am kind of stuck.
I'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 (64 bit). I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer that used to work just fine. Apparently there was an update to the CUPS software that I applied and now the printer is no longer working.
Through examining the error_log file in /var/log/cups I found that two files were missing from /usr/lib/cups/filter. These files existed in the /usr/lib64/cups/filter directory so I linked them to the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory. That cleared up two errors.
When I send a "Print Self Test Page" command from the CUPS Printers page, I get the following error:
Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost
When I attempt to send a print job from an application like gedit or OpenOffice Writer, I get the following error:
Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Send-Document (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost
I've crawled all through the openSUSE forums and 'googled' all sorts of variations for these errors and found nothing useful. I'm hoping someone here might have a clue as to where I might go next to fix this.
Like I said, it was working before and now it's not so there must be something in a recent CUPS release that has messed things up.

I have set-up a stand-alone CUPS server with the intention to configure printer drivers and queues at a central point. The idea was that all workstations simply get announced this server and use whatever it offers. But I cannot get it to work. I cannot find any way to use any external server other than configuring a local server, which may use the remote queues, but still requires all printer drivers locally. Furthermore, I have to set up each remote queue explicitly, i.e. to me having the remote server makes no sense.
I have a brand new Sony DPF-D75 Digital photo frame. I tried connecting it through the usb port with my 11.3 box in order to upload my pictures to it, but it isn't automatically mounted (unlike any other usb device I plug in, like my mouse & pen drive). Should I install any specific driver or something?
I am a beginner with Ubuntu and I have limited knowledge with computers. I want to be able to professionally edit photos and film to create videos. Can you please let me know what programs would be good to download?
I have a 3TB home server storing all my files and a mix of XP, Vista & Ubuntu clients on a Gigabit network. When I access a folder with JPEG photos on the XP or Vista machines and I have them set to display thumbnails that is exactly what I get. The thumbnails load nice and fast. When I access the same folders on the Ubuntu machines with "icon view" it only displays a black icon that says "JPG" but if I copy that folder over to a local drive on the Ubuntu machines then the thumbs display just fine. Does anyone have any idea how to change this on the Ubuntu machines so they load thumbnails for networked photos as well?
I installed Debian Lenny on a Desktop computer for my wife, and am looking for an application to manage her photos.Specifically, what I'm looking for is a way to graphically display a file of thumbnails that reside in a specific folder and allow me to rearrange the order of them them as I see fit. The altered file would then be written back to the hard drive to be viewed with any photo viewer.
Anyone aware of a photo-organizer that sorts by folder like picasa does it? Like when you have all your different albums already neatly sorted into different folders Picasa just lists each folder as a separate album, regardless of date and other information. It didn't work in f-spot when I last tried (couple of month ago) and I haven't tried it shotwell and gthumb yet because it isn't mentioned anywhere under their respective features. Also I'm hesitating to download and install both these apps because I have a lot of pictures which take a while to import.
#1: Folder-based albums #2: Select and email photos with resizing #3: View videos as well as photos
there are plenty of other features I'd LIKE, but these I NEED. Note that #1 is ALBUMS, not just a directory structure (like e.g. GThumb). I've tried anything and everything I could find:
MS office 2003 came with a prgram called "Microsoft Office Photo Manager". It was a surprisingly lightweight application that could adjust color, crop and resize photos. Very simple interface, easy to use. Perfect for simple modifications to digital photos. Is there anything like this in linux? Gimp is certainly not it. Office Drawing and F-Spot photomanager are not it either.
The only thread on creating a contact sheet appears to be years old & locked:- (photography) how to create a single jpg /tif contact sheet? So may I ask what's the most common method today of creating a set of contact sheets of a directory of, say, 500 photos (on Ubuntu 10.04 lucid)? The only thing I really want to specify is the grid (e.g., 4 photos by 6 photos, or something like that).
I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.
here are files an instructions on how to Install "Epson Perfection V200 PHOTO" under Squeeze.within tar file there's a INSTALL readme file (.txt, .pdf, .odt)[URL]
I noticed that I was unable to print PDF files (printer - HP DeskJet HP4583). I tested a doc file in Libre office and a webpage in Firefox and they printed. When I use Okular no error message is shown. Going into the cups web interface, there is no trace of the job at all. When I use Adobe, I get this error My installed cups packages are:
I am in need of some input as to what may be a good cd/dvd label printing program or utility.I have used nero and surething on windows. I already tried glabel, the only template it has is for doulble sheet cd/dvds.I am looking for a single template or instructions for making labels in gimp or inkscape.
