After reading Tom's account (thanks, Tom!), I discovered that the printer is expecting the "document" to be precisely 360pt square, with the actual doughnut area where you might want to put ink is offset somewhere inside that. I eventually figured out the exact offset for my printer and produced a template document for GIMP that even includes the little flat edge where the printer can't print. Then I just have to remember to always print my file in the lower left corner of the page on the print dialog, which GIMP seems to insist must be full page size no matter what. Actually, I find GIMP to be overall a bit clumsy for this sort of thing. I wish that I actually had a working template for glabels or else knew how to make one. -Alan -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
