  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Hi, I just wanted to get back to you about Gutenprint.

    This looks old. Is it still maintained?

    EDIT: I installed it and tried setting up my printer but it says it cannot use that driver. So that's a no go I suppose.

  • I tried this, here's an example of what I got.

    Setting up borderless paper in the print preview:

    The result after:

    And then when I print, I can't get landscape photos to print properly. Not only do I get the 4mm white border, but I get half of a landscape photo in portrait mode.... like wtf.

  • It's a shame the CEOs and people in charge had absolutely no vision for the company, especially after seeing the way Sears went.

    They used to be like Amazon way back in the day where you would order by catalog by sending your order by mail. They totally could've become Canada's answer to Amazon.

    Instead, the higher ups are gonna close up shop and run with the money, leaving the employees with nothing, as usual.

  • Yeah, same. I tried getting people to switch, but it was like pulling teeth. It's even worse now, even with all the Meta Zuckerberg Trump bullshit and the obvious privacy problems.

    The circles feature was awesome. Could post stuff for specific groups of people. Sometimes your posts aren't for all your friends to see.

    At first Diaspora seemed to propose a good alternative to Facebook ang G+. It has "aspects" which work similarly to circles. And the interface is similar to Facebook's. However, it didn't take off as much as anyone would've expected.

    Now there's also Friendica which closely resembles Facebook, but it appears limited in functionality. It looks more like a Facebook-UI to the fediverse, like Mastodon is a Twitter-UI to the fediverse. It's missing the whole "circles/aspects" feature, and we still don't have the groups feature either, which I think is very useful and much appreciated by Facebook users.

    EDIT: Actually I just double checked and it does have circles actually.

  • I don't exactly wish them anything bad, but their whole "My oil, my money!" stance is pretty disappointing, and probably why many feel the way you do. They alone with their oil money have the opportunity to help the have not provinces with Canada's equalization program. But the conservative mentality took hold there which is all about keeping your money to yourself and give s few bucks to charity if you feel like being kind or want to buy yourself a good conscience. (This is very popular with Christians apparently.)

  • Thanks for the advice.

    I did buy this printer for the purpose of printing photos. I send them out to friends with a letter every year lol. So going to a shop to get them printed kind of defeats the purpose.

    I did try to use it through Wine with Bottles, but it's looking specifically for a Windows printer (or the spool system or whatever). So that's a no go.

    Right now I'm just using a Windows VM instead.

    I forgot how I installed the printer, so I need to check again if I'm using a Canon provided driver or the CUPS one.

    Thanks for the advice!
