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.

    Hi I just wanted to come back to you about whether I was using CUPS or proprietary drivers. I am using proprietary Canon drivers provided from their support website. So I guess the official one in Linux doesn’t support it somehow?
