GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 535187
Print not to scale
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:13:33 UTC
I am having the same problem. With both an Epson printer and an earlier GIMP version, and now with a Canon printer and GIMP 2.4.5, no matter how I set the "print size" in the GIMP menu, the output is always a small section of the upper left corner of the image greatly magnified. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #524615 +++ Please describe the problem: Under Gimp 2.4.5 for Windows (XP), i can not print a picture to scale. Tried with two different PC and two different printers. Steps to reproduce: 1. Load a picture 2. Change the Printing Dimensions (Image, Printing dimension, 100x75mm) 3. Go to the Print menu, on the preview screen all seems fine: the picture is on the correct scale 4. Print Actual results: The result will be that the upper left corner of the picture will be zoomed and printed. Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
I also have this problem, but I'm running Gimp 2.4.5 on Vista SP1. No matter which printer I choose (HP1006 or to PDF using PDF995), the top left corner is printed at a very large size. Btw, this bug looks like a duplicate of bug #491230.
We appreciate you took the time to report a bug David, but why did you report a bug you even knew would be a duplicate? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 524615 ***

That is left to the GTK+ developers to decide. You may want to offer your help, if you can.
