Hi, @gilles , I used bionic years ago so anybody else could give u a better response, but I remember I configured MtPaint (default image viewer in Bionic) to print.

You must install a pet, gtklp.pet.

You can find it using your ppm

Hope it helps, but as I said it could.be possible other user recomend to you to install a better software.

Cheers.

@gilles
There is also PeasyPrint.
IIRC, in BionicPup you have to edit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list, which is a symlink to /etc/gnome/defaults.list, and add peasyprint.desktop to each filetype you want to appear in viewnior 'Open With' menu.

EDIT: corrected path and file name of symlink - not sure though. I have not used BionicPup very often...

Another idea would be to send images to a browser. This way you may get a print preview - depending on your browsers printer dialog.

You can also:
- open an image in Viewnor
- right click the image
- choose: open with mtpaint

Then just print from mtpaint.

I use gthumb in all my pups for simple editing/viewing of photo. It has a print option although I don't use it.

Hello gychang,

gthumb works perfectly !
I had just to look for how to print : the only way which works is to do Ctrl + p
Thank you
