Gimp-print with gimp2

[blaksaga]

At first when I tried emerging gimp-print:

*** Could not run GIMP test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

So I tried

cp /usr/bin/gimptool-2.0 /usr/bin/gimptool-1.2

and emerged again. This time it made it past that part and now I get

Has anybody gotten gimp-print to work with gimp 2.0???

[MrSums]

emerge -C gimp

then

USE=gimpprint emerge gimp

I had the same problem, but found the answer in these forums

Good luck

[blaksaga]

Thanks I'll give it a try...and while I'm at it I'm emerging gimp 2.0.1.

[douglas_slac]

How do you emerge gimp 2.0.1?

Then again how do I print with gimp 2 and gimp-print 5.0?

[douglas_slac]

1st of all you don't double post =)
then you put

Code: Select all

 media-gfx/gimp ~x86
media-gfx/gimp-print ~x86

in /etc/portage/package.keywords and

Code: Select all

=gimp-print-5.0.0_alpha2

in /etc/portage/package.unmask.
then you emerge gimp and gimp-print.

[dalek]

OK, new guy here.

This is my package.unmask file.

Code: Select all

=net-misc/nforce-net-1.0.0261*

This is what I get:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

It still wants to get the old gimp-print. What am I doing wrong here? I have ran into this, it ignoring the unmask and keyword file, before and just gave up.

I also notice that when I go into the print screen and I click setup printer, my printer model is not listed, HP DeskJet 3820. It seems to stop before it gets to my model. I have CUPS installed and working so I can print from everything but GIMP. I also have the ppd file installed for cups. It does print a line of junk like this: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator: Print plug-in V4.2 for GIMP/Gimp-Print 4.2.6 (11 Jan 20. Thats all I get. Oh yea, it spits out all my paper one sheet at a time, blank after the first sheet.

Need a little help here.

Thanks

[dalek]

Anybody answer me here? I'm trying not to start another thread here and searching is not helping.

BUMP.

[kamagurka]

my package.keywords file

Code: Select all

=media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86
=media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86
=app-admin/gkrellm ~x86
=media-gfx/gimp-print ~x86
=media-gfx/gimp ~x86

remove the "="s from your package.keywords. those operators are only needed when explicitly specifying package versions.

[dalek]

Ok this is the file now:

Code: Select all

media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86

Still not upgrading the gimp-print. Just for the record here's the other file package.unmask:

Code: Select all

=net-misc/nforce-net-1.0.0261*

=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496
=app-admin/gkrellm-2.2.1
=gimp-print-5.0.0_alpha2

It sort of gripes when I take the "=" out of that one.

Any ideas? It has to be something. It works for everybody else.

[kamagurka]

well, duh.
replace "=gimp-print" with "=media-gfx/gimp-print". it won't work if you don't give the package category.

[dalek]

Wooooooo Hoooooooooooo.

Code: Select all

root@smoker /etc # emerge -pv gimp-print

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

It works now. I knew I was doing something wrong. It worked for everybody else.

Now to see if I can print with GIMP. I'm on dial-up so the download will take a bit.

THANKS VERY MUCH!!!!

I hope this works. That was from the movie D.A.R.Y.L.

Later

[dalek]

Well it installed and all but there is a problem. When I go to print, it is using the the old version 4.2 according to the line on top of the window. It says it removed the old version during the install of the new one.

It still prints the same error message as before when I try to print.

I wanted to re-emerge gimp and see if it would 'see' the new version but when I type in emerge gimp, it wants to remove the new gimp-print and go back to the old..

Any ideas on this thing.

[kamagurka]

if you want to *really* make sure the old version stays out of your system, you can mask it.
add "=media-gfx/gimp-print-x.x.x" to package.mask

[dalek]

I hope you won't kill me when I say this. I didn't have a package.mask file so I made one. I put

Code: Select all

=media-gfx/gimp-print-4.2.6

in the file. This is what I get.

Code: Select all

root@smoker /etc # emerge -pv gimp

I'm almost out of hair. How about you? What am I doing wrong? Is there some command to make it see the file? I did a env-update just in case. No help.

Me confused. It works for everybody but me.

[kamagurka]

sounds about right (as long as package.mask is in /etc/portage/package.mask).
the reason why it doesn't work is this: the ebuild for gimp 2.0.* seems to have "=media-gfx/gimp-print-4.2*" written in as dependency, so it will always try downgrading gimp-print to satisfy this. sucks.

btw, are you running gimp unstable from the bmg-overlay?

[jimmybfan]

Unfortunately if you want to print with the gimp 2.0 you are stuck with gimp-print 4.2.x as gimp-print 5 doesn't play nicely with gimp2.

[dalek]

Unfortunately if you want to print with the gimp 2.0 you are stuck with gimp-print 4.2.x as gimp-print 5 doesn't play nicely with gimp2.

Neither does gimp-print-4.2.6. All it does is print one line, it's above somewhere, and then start spitting out all my paper. It goes until I cut the printer off.

I guess I can't print with Gimp 2.0. This sucks. Great program but it won't print nothing.

This is what I have at the moment.

I'm willing to try something if anybody has any ideas. I'm hoping somebody has a idea.

[teilo]

The gimp-print documentation sepecifically says that it does not currently support Gimp2 at all, so there is nothing you can do to get it working for now. I would wait for a later version of gimp-print for that. All versions of gimp-print have this problem.

Stick with 5.0 releases. The print quality is absolutely fabulous compared to the the 4.x series. I am blown away by how much better it is on my Epson Stylus C82. Better, and for more configurable than the Windblows driver.

The simplest solution would be to install gimp-print 1.2, and use that for printing. The ebuilds are slotted, so it will coexist with 2.0 just fine. This is what I do.

[dalek]

Why did they make gimp-print not work with Gimp? I am so confused here. They write a program to use to print from Gimp but it won't work with Gimp. Not saying it isn't true just trying to understand why they wrote the thing.

Oh well. I guess I'll have to wait until something new comes out so I can print. I did find it prints with the HP DeskJet 2500 series driver though. It ain't very good but it doesn't spit out all my paper at least.

If anybody finds something that will work right, let me know.

[kamagurka]

i'm guessing that they focus their pre-releases on gimp 1 first, since gimp 2 is still considered somewhat experimental. gimp-print 5 stable will probably work with gimp 2.

[dalek]

I hope they add my printer to the list to while they are at it. I chose the HP DeskJet 2500 and it at least prints, just not very good.

I hope this gets worked out soon.

Later
