Printing on CDs with the new gtk+ printing dialog

Hi all.

With the old gimp & print dialog ( and with the help of a gimp plugin to set up CD covers ), I've had great success in printing CD covers. After a recent gimp update, the old print dialog has been replaced with the new gtk+ one. I can't get it to print CD covers. It says:

Image width (11.1097 in) is larger than printable width (4.56944 in).

I have selected the correct media type ( CD - 5 in ) and also selected this in the 'page setup' bit. I've checked everything else in the print dialog as well. Copying my gimp project to a PC with an older Gimp allows me to print this CD cover. Any ideas?

You can install gutenprint if that gives you better results. You could investigate the problem and file a bug report against GTK+. You can use the stable GIMP that you should still have installed. Or did you actually replace it with an unstable development snapshot?

I also have this installed.

I replaced it, but rolling back isn't too hard, and I have a lot of other PCs around I can use for now. I will investigate further and file a bug against gtk.

Thanks for the quick response :)
