If it works, please test it at all resolutions (you don't need to make big prints) and any paper types you have handy. I don't recall whether the C82 supports borderless printing; if it does, please test that (otherwise I'll look to see if another existing driver might work that you can test). If it works, I just have to add one line to an XML file and update the release notes. _______________________________________________ Gimp-print-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gimp-print-devel
