Is there a way to build recent gimp to use gimpprint/gutenprint plugin for

It is the other way round - you build gutenprint and tell it to create a gimp plug-in (if that isn't the default if it detects libgimp during configure, that is).

Are you building in gimp-print then doing a make install? Is this the latest gimp-print from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/ ? Check that make install is really succeeding.

If you already have gimp's built-in gtkprint plug-in, and you also build gimp-print from the Gutenprint project, you'll probably end up with two different File->Print... menu entries. One of them should bring up the Gutenprint dialog, the other, the GTKprint one.

As long as you're building gutenprint yourself, I'd recommend modifying their src/gimp/print.c: find the line that registers to N_("/File/Print..."), (line 166 in the latest version) and change the name, e.g. N_("/File/GutenPrint..."),

Then you'll be able to tell the the two plug-ins apart and verify that your gutenprint plug-in is really getting installed.

Thanks, a very good idea. I'm building 5.2.0-beta4 and the closest I can find is src/gimp2/print.c , sadly I don't find anything that matches the snippet you posted. What function is it in?

You don't need to do any of this any more; as of 5.0, the menu item is "Print with Gutenprint" (if GIMP 2.4 or above is in use) to distinguish it from the GTKPrint plugin bundled with GIMP.

Hi,

where does the current (cvs) print dlg come from. It looks the same as the one used by ffox so I guess it may be gtk+ rather than gimp.

Though it has many fancy features it lacks the simple on screen scaling and positioning that was so useful in gimpprint.

It is the GtkPrint dialog. But the GIMP Print plug-in adds a notebook tab to it that provides the simple on screen scaling and positioning that you are looking for. What exactly is it that you are missing?
