Multiple copies to printer

Greetings;

I have a target practice target.pdf file that I'd like to print about 50 copies of. Unforch, selecting print, it takes about 6-7 minutes to render each one, but only about 1:30 to print it once rendered. The print selector has no box for number of copies, so its taking me about 10 minutes per page whereas it should be only 1:30 once the render is done.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Save it in another format, and open in staroffice instead,.

Sorry, there is as bug filed about this in the GIMP, but there seens to be no developer with the time to revamp the printing dialog/system as of now.

:-(

Or, if you are in KDE, how about kprinter? Just call kprinter target.pdf, which should open the kprinter window allowing several options to choose from.

I take it that means the next version will have that? Currently, I have 1.1.19 installed.

Did you read the report? It means that we won't see this feature unless a new stable version of gimp-print is released that has this functionality. When that happens, we still need to port the GIMP plug-in to the new gimp-print API. I expect this to happen somewhen in the GIMP 2.0 development cycle but most probably not for 2.0.

Currently, I have 1.1.19 installed.

Please tell me that you are kidding. You don't want to tell me that you are serisouly still using GIMP version 1.1.19, do you?

Unforch, I have only two working methods to print something, and lpr isn't one of them. I can print a test page correctly from cups (1.1.19), and I can print about anything I can import into the GIMP.

Anything else sent to any of my 4 printer cues, for 2 seperate printers, actually comes out as a full bleed, light grey sheet of paper. Nothing else, no odd patterns or anything, just a full bleed light grey sheet comes out of the printers.

I posted it to the cups list and was apparently ignored, no replies for 2 posts asking about it.

One thing I haven't tried is to print to file, using that ppd, and then do a 4 or 5 line bash script to copy it to the printer. I used to do that on my amiga so I could reprint a book as many times as I wanted, by just copying the page files to the printer again. Eventually of course, one must do space patrol and delete the page files to make room for the next big printing project :(

But that seems like really beating around 720 acres of the bush to me.

I believe OOo can open a pdf, so no file conversion would be needed, but the last time I checked, OOo was among the ones printing the plain grey pages.

Unforch, the only mimetype my copy seems to be aware of is the text type, where it supposedly would use enscript.

Can I say 'Duh'? Thats the cups version, along with foomatic 3.0something. The gimp-print is gimp-print-4.2.6-pre1 FWTW.
