Gimp won't reduce graphics to Print Size on printing
I ran into the same thing. I "solved" it on my system by changing the X and Y resolution to 600 pixels/inch in the Print Size dialog. The previewed image looked VERY tiny, but it printed the way I wanted.
I fiddled around the Image Scale to fine tune the output size.
My sister-in-law sent me some JPEG photo files that displayed rather
large on the monitor and clearly were not going to fit the photo
paper I
had available. I opened both Image Size and Print Size and changed
the
resolution from 90dpi to 300dpi, whereupon the millimetre dimensions
reduced sufficiently to fit the paper.
The RGB --> CMYK printer is an Epson CX6900F multifunction that has
a
page preview function. When the photos were printed, the preview
showed
only a small area from the upper left corner, i.e. the
size/resolution
information saved in the JPEG files had been totally ignored. Eventually I had to use (blush!) Microsoft Photo Editor, a freebie
that
comes with Windows XP.
What is going on?
Windows XP SP3, Gimp 2.4.6
