    [Solved] Cannot Print Photos with GIMP

    I previously had 10.04 installed on the computer that I am now using for 10.10. Under 10.04 GIMP was able to print photos whereas on my laptop with 10.04 I could not print photos. Now I cannot print photos on 10.10 . I have a HP Photosmart C7280 printer and I have installed the HP Device manager which shows the status of the printer. The print > Image Settings on GIMP has a preview box which is blank and if I print the image it is blank. Gutenprint is useless as it does not let me select the photo tray because it does not know about the C7280 printer.

    I'd say you're missing a package.

      You might also want to verify that your printer is installed -- the upgrade may have zapped its configuration.

      Do you have hplip installed, and does it show your printer, and communicate with it?

      you can also point your browser to http://localhost:631/ to check if your printer is installed.

        I tried to install the packages in your list but when I tried to install footmatic-db-gutenprint I got the following error:
        Code:
        footmatic-db-gutenprint
        Depends: footmatic-db but it is not going to be installed
        To check the status of my packages I did:
        Code:
        sudo dpkg --configure -a
        sudo apt-get install -f
        My list of installed packages is in graphic.

          Yes, I have this package installed and I have also used the printer for printing from other packages such as OpenOffice. My installed packages are listed in the attached image.

            If not installed, install gimp-gutenprint.
            Gutenprint is the print facility for the GIMP, and in addition a suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks. Gutenprint was formerly known as Gimp-Print.

              I installed gimp-gutenprint and when I tried to install footmatic-db-gutenprint I got the same error, ie
              Code:
              footmatic-db-gutenprint
              Depends: footmatic-db but it is not going to be installed
              Code:
              BTW I still cannot print images.

              Because of the difference in installed packages, I have included the sources that I have.

                You have something else installed that wants the foomatic package.
                I have gimp-gutenprint installed, and foomatic-db-gutenprint is not installed, nor is it listed as a dependency for gimp-gutenprint, or anything gimp-gutenprint depends on.

                I'm not sure what is trying to pull in the foomatic package.

                Try: dpkg-query --status gimp-gutenprint

                  Same here. To see dependencies, simply select the gimp-gutenprint package in Synaptic and select the "Dependencies" tab below. To see which packages depend on gimp-gutenprint, select "Dependants" from the dropdown.

                    I found Dependencies after selecting properties. What I get is shown below.

                        I have Synaptic 0.63.1 installed and when I right mouse click on gimp-gutenprint there is no "Dependants" listed. When I select "properties" I then get "Dependencies". Can you see Dependants from the dropdown on your computer? If so, what version of Synaptic are you using?

                          I used muon, right-clicked on gimp-gutenprint, chose the "dependencies" tab, and saw this:

                          Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.29.3)
                          Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4)

                          Identical to yours.

                          However, when I checked foomatic-db, look at the bottom of the list:

                          Recommends: ghostscript
                          Recommends: cups

                          Conflicts: foomatic-db-hpijs
                          Breaks: foomatic-filters (< 4.0)
                          Replaces: foomatic-db-hpijs
                          So I think there's a problem between foomatic-db and foomatic-db-hpijs. But it says the foomatic-db package is the replacement, so maybe you can remove foomatic-db-hpijs and then install foomatic-db and get a different result.

                          Maybe.

                              Guess I'm a dummy - I don't see "Dependants" anywhere except for my kids when they ask for money. I do see "Dependencies" in several locations however. Hey, I'm not even afraid to click on a drop-down menu and still, no Dependants... hmmm... maybe there's a wiki page for Synaptic Menus for Dummies because clearly, some of us need one.

                              dependant [dɪˈpɛndənt] n
                              a person who depends on another person, organization, etc., for support, aid, or sustenance, esp financial support
