General :: Printing Image (Created Using Montage Command) With LPR
Oct 23, 2010
I have created an image out of 2 other images using the "montage" command. I want to then print it using "lpr". I view the output from montage in XV and it looks fine however when I try to print, it prints the bottom half of the first image then the second and then the bottom half again.
E.g., imagine this:
Code:
<< end of top image
<< end of bottom image
The above is how it looks in xv however when printed, it looks like:
Code:

I really can't understand it, I've tried opening and saving the image again but it still prints as above. I don't know if montage is outputting it incorrectly or something, however it looks right on the screen!
I have an image of the entire disk created using dd. The disk structure follows:
The image was created using:
How would I, if it is possible, mount /dev/sda1 from the image so that I'm able to read the contents?
It's not an option to clone the HDD again, I know how to do it if I had only cloned the single partition by itself. I hope it's still possible with the current image.
I created a VM disk image with kvm-img, but I forget what was the max size of that disk image when I created it. Currently, its size is 6.2G, I want to install some large packages in that VM, so I want to make sure the disk image can expand to an adequate size.
I am just starting out in LINUX and I know the basic commands but I am a having a problem. I scoped the man pages but I can't get it. Maybe one of know... Can anyone tell me the cmd to figure out the system a file was created on? I just can't figure out this problem.
I would like to know how to use grep command to filter the log files created between 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM in buch of log for whole day in different headings. This files resembles like sar file in linux.
I have a PDF that I built using BIRT, and that works fine. At this point I'm trying to print it using lpr or some other command. It seems as though I should just be able to type lpr invoice.pdf and it should print to the default printer. However, lpstat -t shows "Empty print file!" for the printer, and the printer doesn't do anything, let alone print the file. lpr -l invoice.pdf prints the file, but unformatted - just a bunch of characters and whitespace on a seemingly infinite number of pages.
I have a starServer.sh command in a shell script along with a bunch of command. Th startServer.sh command prints out stuff on stdout and stays printing since the server is up. However eve though I want to start the server I want it to continue executing the commands after ./startServer.sh in the same flow.
I don't understand why this is so difficult.In the old days, there was lpforms which allowed some formatting. CUPS did not see fit to implement this into it's lp package.cgi-...-cgi?lpforms+1In the old days, lpr allowed you to select a font in the command line with -1=fontname. CUPS did not see fit to implement this into it's lpr package.htmIn the old days, printers had fonts installed on them that you could access. Modern printers don't seem to have this. So now I still need to be able to select a font when I print certain text files from the command line but it seems this is impossible. I've been working with instances and lpoptions, which allows me to do a lot of other things I need like orientation and margins and even set the font size, but I still cannot choose a font other than the default.
CUPS was not originally installed on my server, I have installed it but cannot print to my network printer. On my laptop, I can... they are both running the same version of Debian. What could be missing?
Here are some details...
I have two computers running the same version of Debian. One is a server with no GUI and the other is my laptop with GDM installed. My laptop (which prints with no problem) is connected via Wifi. My server is connected directly to the router via Ethernet. I cannot print from the server.
The printer is a Canon Pixma MP495 that connects to the router via Wifi. I have downloaded drivers for the printer from [url] and installed them successfully using dpkg on both computers.
Right now I have a regular text file that I am using for a test page. To print from my laptop (with success) I type:
Code:
This does not work from the server. What could I be missing?
I am using redhat linux4 and qt4.6. I have created an application in qt, which i want to link to frame buffer using C programme and display it onto the xserver or/and on the hawkboard.
Im trying to build an initrd image for my livecd using cpio -o -H newc, but the livecd can't boot. If I create the initrd image using mkfs.ext2 then it works.
In light of my previous achievement in wireless networking, I've decided to create a larger issue for myself to solve. Which hopefully I can get some help with. Because my system is totally kisspoped up, for those of you who get what that means. I was trying to install GRUB via the .txz package and it created a mirrored image of the /boot folder. Which for some reason contained the / folder. Which in turn held /boot and all the other folders / is expected to contain.
Now, trying to remove the extra /boot folder proved difficult, but once I finally was able to figure it out, I remembered I could removepkg and that would probably mend the situation. However, I was already 20-something percent through moving the files to trash. Now when I checked /, /boot was gone from there. Along with various other folders. SO! Apparently the /tmp/boot folder created was in reality the /boot folder, albeit in the wrong place and having the wrong contents. Somehow, one folder existed as two different versions of itself at the same point in time. Much as a Time Lord might. Deleting one made the other vanish with it.
Good news:I removed it via Thunar and it should be in the root user's trash /home and some other folders had yet to be trashed when I hit cancel, so I can still use some things Bad news:I never ran X as root, so I don't know if it HAS a trash folder I can only use things already started up because the binaries are gone, but the configuration files in /home are still there (although /usr/bin remains)
Ideally, there would be a big UNDO button somewhere in this long row of function keys. Reasonably, there should be some kind of restoration tool. Realistically, I think I'm going to have to reinstall the system, which wasn't easy in the first place due to my faulty disc bay which detects discs at will.
I have a large image that I want to print over 4 pages, each page showing 1/4 of the overall image, that I will past together. I'm doing this from GIMP on an up-to-date fc12 system. Searching around I find that there is a "scale" field in the print dialog and the lp command that cups supports and according to the documentation if I set scale to "200%" it should do what I want.However, when I set scale to 200% I get only one page with the upper left 1/4 of the page and then nothing. How do I get it to print the remaining 3 pages?
i was trying to install windows xp on vbox, but the cd wont work, so i want to make an iso image from the cd and run it from that. after some research, i found this code to use disk dump and make a raw cd image:
Code:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso
ive done that successfully (making sure the drive is unmounted), but i cant even find the file now. ive searched the filesystem, but it doesnt appear anywhere.
I have used to knoppix to grab an image off a pc to my external hard drive.I then used the command dd if=/sdc1/backup.iso of sda2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror to another pc I was cloning.This process failed and the hard drive was not seen after that even using fstab.Is there any way I can verify if the iso image i grabbed is good.What command can i use to explore this iso image?
I have created an iso image from a RHEL5.4 disc using mkisofs. mkisofs -A "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -V "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -v -U -J -R -T -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o /tmp/RHEL54-x86_64-dvd.iso .
It creates the iso image no problem, however when I go to boot a new server from the disc I get the boot prompt, hit enter, answer the language and keyboard questions and then it throws the following error: "The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD and press OK to retry". Perhaps I need to specify in my mkisofs command that its supposed to be iso9660? This is on a RHEV virtual machine.
i was wondering if it is possible too use the DD command to make an image file of my blackberry 8330?i need it of the onboard memory and not the external memory card.
Is there a simple command to copy files that have been created within the past 2 hours?I've been looking through the man pages for unisonrsyncfindcpand I can't find anything I'm looking for.All I need is a simple command.Code:Copy folder a to b if created < 2 hours.
Since slackware 13.0 (upgraded to 13.1), I haven't been able to print anything. I can add printers no problem using the cups gui (or whatever). However any print I send to any printer fails because of:
"Unable to open image file for printing!"
I can post the whole error log if that helps, but I can't see much in it. I haven't been able to print for about 6 months, which is getting a bit annoying.
p.s, as a I lazy option I upgraded to the cups in -current, but that didn't help (although I don't think it was a very different version).
I'm a little bit confused with partitioning the filesystem in Linux. the difference between creating the file system with fdisk and mkfs (when formatting the disk). I can't clearly tell my problem, so please look at this picture:
I'm having a hard time trying to print documents to PDF via cups-pdf at the command line and get all of the nice formatting options that the GUI print spooler dialogs provide. I know how to do "lpr -P Generic-CUPS-PDF-Printer filename" to get a general file printed to a PDF, but this method clearly is missing all of the nice formattingptions that get passed when using a GUI print spooler (margins, fonts, dpi, paper size, etc..). I tried to use ps to capture whatever command is being sent by the spooler but couldn't figure it out, since I'm not really sure what commands get called by the spooler
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.
I want an image viewer to show the images in a directory in a random order. For that, I made the following script:
cd /home/DIRECTORY ls > files sort -R files cat files | gpicview
Everything looks fine, but gpicview doesn't open the images! I also tried it with pqiv but instead of just opening the images, it opens a dialog asking me which of the files I want to open.
