how to print a photo on a 10 cmx15 cm paper - Denis - 04-26-2023
Hello
I can't print a photo on a 10 cm x 15 cm paper
However I size the photo well with "print size".
With "page setup" I select the 10x15 format (4" 6")
Then with "print" I choose the paper size 10x15 in the driver of my printer (canon TS8300 series)
But the print preview shows me a 10x15 photo on an A4 sheet
Same problem when I ask for "without margin" or "without border" or "to the scale of the paper" ... it doesn't work
Thanks for your help
Sincerely

Using a Windows 10 (virtual machine) / Gimp 2.10.34 / and my Brother Inkjet
I can duplicate your results. The Windows Gimp printer plugin, over the years has worked / not worked / sometimes works.
Looks like back to the not working state. There are bug reports, this is the latest https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/9394
Best thing is export your photo and use some other application for printing. XNViewMP or IrfanView are popular alternatives.
Another way is export as a PDF and use a PDF viewer to print.

Hello
thank you for confirming the problem with another configuration
I understand better ... it is a GIMP problem
Thank you for the alternatives that I will apply
