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.
The advance tab only lets me choose the kind of paper (Glossy photo paper in my case) and to enable/disable grayscale printing.
The Job options has the following:
Then the page tab:
As you can see, even when I select borderless, margins are still there. And I can’t set them all to 0. If I try, I still get two margins that I can’t set to 0.
As someone else mentioned, this could be a driver problem. I’m gonna try installing the CUPS driver instead of the manufacturer provided one.
