It would be nice to be able to print the displayed image in ristretto.
Comment 1 Stephan Arts editbugs 2009-05-20 14:36:29 CEST
Rudimentary printing is implemented in git (Full-page landscape),

Can you please provide a more concrete list of functional requirements?

Added Cody, he requested this feature on IRC so he might have some ideas aswell.

Print selected/currently viewed photo
Ability to change printer options (layout, number of prints per page, dpi, ink source).

Maybe a "Print all viewable pictures in this folder" option, maybe with the option to exclude a few images (via a thumbnail with checkbox like dialog).

I haven't tried to print something directly from an XFCE application in a long time, so I'm not sure of the state of XFCE printer dialog (does it give some of the above options, etc).

Beta minimal printing support

Well, a long dead feature request...

I need that feature, and friends of mine need it too. And I don't want to have to launch massive crapware each time I just want to print a photo. I want a lightweight app for simple uses, with all commoditised features... like printing. Heavyweight tools are for heavyweight works, which are rare. Digikam, anyone? :-)

Sooo... Seeing things did not move and not finding anything in git, I decided to implement it, kind of "quick and dirty", but trying to keep some coherence with the existing code.

My patch "just works here". I did not try to implement complex things, there is no such thing as a multiphoto mosaic page generator or directory print. I just rotate the photos if necessary to use a maximum space on the sheet, because photos are often landscape, and printers more naturally do portrait. And no, I don't 'propose' it, I just do it. I did not try to support exotic cases either : panorama photos _will_ overflow and miss some part, for example.

As far I currently know, my patch should work just "as is" with Gtk+-3.x too (for printing APIs I used look unmodified).

Stephan, pushing this patch or your own would be appreciated! :-)

And I may rework this one, if needed, just ask...

Oooh, nice. :)

I'll have a look at the patch later... so far thanks for all the effort :)

also in version 0.6.3 (xubuntu 14.04) the function to print an image is not present. Printing facility is needed
Comment 6 Liv 2016-01-29 22:17:57 CET
Is there any progress on reviewing this patch? I too am looking for a similar feature.

Hi, I've tried your patch with version 0.8.2. It patched Ok but nothing happened. No print function was added at all, nowhere.

I hope someone can shed some light over this matter.

Regards.
