Hi Robert,
I'm using Gimp-Print 4.2.7 with OS X vs. 10.3.6.
Gimp-Print seems to just stop working sometimes. Either prints fail to
finish processsing (endless spinning beachball) or I get prints of a
page full of numerals, rather than a bitmap image. Reinstallation
solves it for a while, then kaflooie - gone again.
Thanks for your interest,
I'm the project lead for Gimp-Print, that's why I'm interested.
We've received a lot of reports of problems (typically very slow
printing or prints that fail to finish processing) with 10.3.6. This
suggests some kind of communication problem. It's not apparent how
reinstalling Gimp-Print would resolve this problem, although I'm not
inclined to disbelieve you. The reason I say that it's not apparent
how reinstalling Gimp-Print would resolve this problem is that
Gimp-Print is simply a CUPS filter that reads data from an upstream
filter and converts it into ESCP raster format for your printer. If
reinstalling it resolves the problem, then clearly it's doing
something that clears the problem. If this kind of thing happens with
Gimp-Print but not with another driver, then I really have to wonder
what's going on here. The 1270 is a particularly well-supported
printer; I personally have an 870 (which is identical except for the
carriage width) and did most of the development of the 4.2 baseline on
that printer.
I've copied our Mac expert (Tyler Blessing), who may have some ideas
about this.
