Hi,

Trying to print my first printer target, this is proving quite difficult as printtarg creates a tif with large blank margins, so it does not fit into the Letter paper size I specified, event if I set -m0 -M0. At best it creates a tif with exactly 8,5 x 11 inches, which would require borderless printing, an unnecessary complication. The command I used:

printtarg -v -ii1 -R1 -T360 -pLetter -m0 -M0 pre_canson_rag_photo_310_p800_tp

The only solution I've found is to use "Image / Crop to content" in gimp, and then center the image for printing.

Is this a but or did I not understand how to set paper size?

Thanks!
