First of all, I want to say I love the program – it’s been fantastic for high-quality prints on Linux!
I'm trying to set up a workflow to print multiple files in bulk from the command line.
An example of a command I’ve been trying:
Code: Select all
lp -d Pro1000-TurboPrint -o scaling=50 -o page-bottom=15 *.jpgWhen left to default or set to fit-to-page, the bottom margin ends up larger than the top margin. I can set the margin precisely in Gutenprint, but my goal is to bulk print images in a directory, which is why I’m aiming to do it via the command line.
I've tried different syntaxes with lp and lpr, but no luck so far (dozes of attempts, lol).
I found this thread https://www.turboprint.info/support/viewtopic.php?t=162
so now I'm trying to use tpprint piped into lp, but it seems tpprint generates an empty raw file. Here’s an example command I tried:
Code: Select all
tpprint -dCanon_imagePROGRAF_Pro1000 -s10500x14850 -q1 -f3 -v2 output.ppm | lp -d Pro1000-TurboPrint -o rawCode: Select all
backchannel_fd=-1
tpprint 2.57-1 x64 (02-SEP-2024) - TurboPrint printer driver

tpprint -dCanon_imagePROGRAF_Pro1000 -s10500x14850 -q1 -f3 -v2 output.pcx > output.raw
I tried ttprint with both ppm and pcx formats, same results
If you have any guidance on setting up the margins correctly in command line for bulk printing or tips on making tpprint work without generating empty output, I’d appreciate it!
I've also tried looking up the options that gutenprint saves in gpturboprintrc in ./config/GIMP but I can't figure out a way to pass those options to tpprint or lp.
Running of out ideas.
Thanks in advance for your help!
