Tux Paint won't print, gives an error, or prints garbage (Unix/Linux)
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
Tux Paint prints by creating a PostScript rendition of the picture
|
||||||
|
and sending it to an external command. By default, this command is
|
||||||
|
the "lpr" printing tool.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If that program is not available (for example, you're using CUPS,
|
||||||
|
the Common Unix Printing System, and do not have "cups-lpr" installed),
|
||||||
|
you will need to specify an appropriate command using the
|
||||||
|
"printcommand" option in Tux Paint's configuration file.
|
||||||
|
(See the OPTIONS documentation.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note: Versions of Tux Paint prior to 0.9.15 used a different default
|
||||||
|
command for printing, "pngtopnm | pnmtops | lpr", as Tux Paint output
|
||||||
|
PNG format, rather than PostScript.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you had changed your "printcommand" option prior to Tux Paint 0.9.15,
|
||||||
|
you will need to go back and alter it to accept PostScript.
