Xara Printing

**fjgaude** · 04 September 2006, 08:38 PM

Impressive progress when it comes to printing, at least with my Epson R220 inkjet. I hadn't tried the printing lately thinking someone would annouce it working. It works somewhat perfectly now, and it just means that the developers are moving faster than I at first had thought.

Been spending some time, since AI, PNG, JPG and some SVG are importing, thinking about how I'll be using Linux in a workflow, the whole shot, if you know what I mean. I vowed to not upgrade to Win Vista. <sigh>

Can anyone say what Xara v0.8 will have achieved over what we already have? Thanks to all, one and all.

I thought we did in the 0.7 release? It should be working now from the autopackage version though I understand there is a problem on the Debian / Ubuntu .deb due to the way they compile wxWidgets.

I don't think there is a complete feature list there, but I'm hoping to get the brush stuff in (that's one of the main missing areas of tool functionality), and tidy up galleries a bit, for my part.

Well, when I opened the Print options, Print layout menu I thought things were more broken than they are. <smile>

Brushes are coming and... thanks for the good work,

Oh are you seeing the "internal error" too? That's odd. Which version are you using?

No error msg, just the offset menu and its text. Easy to fix, when the time comes.

I don't think I see that. Can you provide a screenshot please?

Is there any way to print from Xara on Ubuntu Dapper? I am using the autopackage 0.7 rev. 1729.

Hi Foxy123,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

Are you able to print from other applications on your Ubuntu Dapper system? If you can, which printer daemon are you using (lpr/lpd/cups)?

Hi Soquili, yes I can print from other applications without a problem. I use cups.

I use CUPS as well. From the File menu in the Printer Setup, does it show your printer? I had to select my printer from the drop down list before I could print.
