mtPaint will not print jpeg; jpg images (SOLVED)

#1 Post by jadaro »

I am using slacko 5.3.1

I can not print a jpg image in mtpaint -- png and pam formats print ok.

gpklp is installed. Abiword prints the jpeg images ok.

Doing some research and read where gtklp may not be accessing current libraries.

How do I determine if the libraries that gtklp is using are current and how do i get them installed.

I did install gtklp-1.2.5 pet before I read that slacko came with gtklp -- is it possible that the pet package downgraded what was already available???

I figured this one out .

I did corrupt the gtklprc file by installing the pet package.

I uninstalled the pet then had to update the gtklprc file and every thing is ok.

Slacko 5.3 users of mtpaint who are having problems printing to jpeg will find a specific comment about configuring mtpaint here:

(have to replace the kprinter selection with gtk1p).

Apparently you must not install the gtklp pet - it is already in Slacko - you just have to change the kprinter thingy.
