Hello linux@lemmy.world!

I’ve completely switched from dual boot to full Linux last year and I’ve been struggling to find the one tool that could replace the printer software that came with my Canon printer.

My printer came with an application that allows me to print border-less photos and apply fixes such as colour correction, remove red eyes, etc. So far I haven’t found any application that allows me to print photos properly.

I’m using Kubuntu 24.04 and I tried using Gwenview to print my photos. While the dialog allows me to configure my printer to print on 4x6 border-less photo paper, it still prints with ~4mm borders.

I’m also asking myself, is this more of a KDE Plasma printing issue or an application printing issue?

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I’m even considering using paid software at this point. Any solution is welcome.

    Yes, I tried Darktable but I still can’t get the image to get cropped to print border-less. My smartphone camera either prints 3:4, 9:16, 1:1, or whatever the screen ratio is. But it doesn’t match the traditional 4x6 paper photo ratio. So the photo needs to be slightly cropped to fit the whole sheet.

    And then when it’s time for printing, it still prints white borders anyway. Even if I select 4x6 borderless.
