Ctl P not offering print options...

Postby Guest » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:08 pm

Am using Version 0.45 on PCLinuxOS and after i got a simple book cover made up the Ctl P option will not bring up any window for options, it just prints directly to the printer. It's the same as the Print Direct option. i need this because when it does print it prints as portrait instead of landscape - arg.

Any ideas as to what's happening?

Have a great evening! :)

I'm not sure about the Print dialog, but if orientation is your only problem you can set it in File > Document Properties (Shift + Ctrl + D)

If it's the printer properties that mess this up I guess you'll have to ask developers about a fix, or maybe download the latest development version, do you have PCLinuxOS on your harddrive?

I have the same problem and I do have pclos and inkscape installed on my hard drive. I checked other apps and clicked on print and it offered me options but inkscape does not. It just goes to the printer and I would like to print in landscape mode.
