and switch to the Printers tab in Printers

available printers. Make sure that your

 

machine is displayed on the list. If not,

 

please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set

 

up your device.

• Check if your application has special print

 

option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is

 

specified in the command line parameter

 

then remove it to print properly. For Gimp

 

front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer”

 

and edit command line parameter in the

 

command item.
