Gimp and Turboprint

I run Ubuntu Studio 9.10 as my OS, have Gimp 2.6 installed and running perfectly, Gimp 2.7 installed and running fine. My problem: When I print from 2.6, I can choose to print or Turboprint (using that non-free application which gives me full functionality on my Canon i960 photo printer).

If I print from 2.7, the Turboprint option is not available and, while I can get my i960 to work, full functionality is not available.

I'm guessing that the problem stems from the way in which 2.7 was installed so that it coexists with 2.6 on my system, but I would like to get 2.7 to recognize and use Turboprint.

Any advice?

Thanks.

I suggest that you contact Turboprint, they are very helpful.

I don't know where this Turboprint option is, but if it's a separate Print option in GIMP's File menu, my guess is that Turboprint is installing its own Print plug-in, and you need to copy the one it installed for 2.6 to 2.7.

It might be installed in your profile directory, e.g. ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins, or it might be installed in a system location, e.g. /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins. Check your GIMP Preferences in 2.6, under Files > Plug-ins, for possible locations.

Thanks for the suggestions. Checking my 2.6 plugins, there are only the two locations you list, Akkana, under my GIMP Preferences. Using the terminal to navigate to those plug-in folders, there are no files in my /home/user/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder, and nothing TurboPrint related in the other location.

I'll have to keep working on it. The TurboPrint dialog includes some useful settings specific to my i960 inkjet printer that make me leave GIMP 2.7 and reopen my image in 2.6 when I want to print - I'd like to fix that if possible.

Thanks again.

Actually, I had posted a request for help on this issue on the TurboPrint Forum. I had not checked back there in a while, but a responder listed the following files/locations that TurboPrint installs on my system:

/usr/local/share/gpturboprint/1.1.10/xml/printers.xml /usr/local/share/gpturboprint/1.1.10/xml/papers.xml /usr/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gpturboprint.mo

The files are on my system in the locations listed. I'm guessing that my problem involves the fact that 2.7 is installed so that it co-exists with 2.6 on my system. I just don't know how to give 2.7 access to the above files, I guess. They are probably needed in some alternate location (my plug-in folders are not shared between the two versions, either).

Any additional suggestions would be welcome.

Of course, when 2.8 arrives, this little problem will solve itself.

Thanks again.
