How to download and print photos in Lucid Puppy?

#1 Post by Paul Earland »

Hello. Lucid Puppy is fast becoming my main OS. Apart from a scanner problem, which I am not too bothered about, the only other problem I have is to view and print photos. It has Viewnior Image Viewer which is fine for viewing photos but you cant print from it! I wish to view photos and print them on my printer. Thanks. Paul

You can view in MtPaint
Has print option in File->Actions->

Will probably need this info also.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Printing photos by libreoffice

What about printing photos by attaching them to a write libreoffice document? You can scale it, manipulate it, and print it at the beginning of the page o where you want without waste of photo-paper. I use to do so.

You can always try loading them in whatever web-browser you have installed, and print from there.

I also have IrfanView installed, through Wine (yeah, I know, a Windows program :) ), which does a decent job of printing images, at least in my experience. (But I wouldn't recommend installing Wine just for that...)
