  • someone who hates money money

    I’m going to assume you asked someone to do the work but you weren’t willing to pay the price for their time to do the amount of work you’re asking, so they refused.

    No offense but that sounds like a hell of a project with a lot of technical challenges. Why can’t you do it yourself?

    If you think it’s not that big of a project, maybe you could post some specs and more details about your device? And let people here tell you if it’s feasible or not.




  • 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.








  • 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!




  • Yes, I tried Darktable but I still can’t get the image to get cropped to print border-less. My smartphone camera either prints 3:4, 9:16, 1:1, or whatever the screen ratio is. But it doesn’t match the traditional 4x6 paper photo ratio. So the photo needs to be slightly cropped to fit the whole sheet.

    And then when it’s time for printing, it still prints white borders anyway. Even if I select 4x6 borderless.
