The easiest way is to use gnome binary distribution. Consult http://www.gnome.org/start/ about both how to get binaries and/or source for gnome packages. If you are using realatively modern GNU/Linux distribution chances are that gnome-print is already included in it. But as gnome-print is rapidly developing, you may want to check for updates.

Yes, there is. You can acess both subscription/unsubscription and archives from web address: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gnome-print The adress of list (for posting messages) is: gnome-print@ximian.com

The best way is to use gnome bug tracking system (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/). Bugs entered there are never forgot by developers, as bugs reported by email often are. If reporting bug, be as exact as possible. Code examples are great. If reporting bugs related to PostScript printing, try to attach resulting PostScript file in addition to description, how your program produced it.

Current gnome-print relies entirely on underlying printing system for interfacing with actual printers. So it uses whatever libraries/prograsm your printing system use. In future it may implement direct drivers too, but of course, the general ones remain always present. Why my application should use gnome-print? After all it is not so difficult to produce PostScript manually and doing so gives me endless possibilities.

Unfortunately there is no good documentation about using gnome-print. The best way is probably to look into example code in tests directory in gnome-print source.

It depends of your gnome-print version. Up to version 0.26 you have to manually add these to fontmap file (found at PREFIX/fonts). Starting from version 0.27 you can use program gnome-font-install. Just run it, giving the directory(ies) with your font files (pfb and afm) as argument, and send output to either PREFIX/fontmap2 or ~/.gnome/fonts/fontmap.

Send message to gnome-print list and we will contact you ;) While you do not need any permission to start hacking on gnome-print, it is usually better to ask first, whether your idea is already in work, or does somebody have better idea, how to implement that. If you think you have produced useful patch, send it to gnome-print mailing list, or directly to maintainers.

Just unpack tarball into separate directory. cd to gnome-print-X.Y directory and issue commands: ./configure --prefix=PREFIX make Become superuser make install

If you have installed gnome from binary packages, make sure that you have installed corresponding development packages as well. If you have compiled MY_LIBRARY yourself, make sure that prefixes match.

Yes, you can. You still need X, Gtk+ and gnome to be installed, but X does not have to run on your machine. Of course, you cannot use print preview or printer selection widgets in that case. You also have to start your console program with gtk_type_init instead of gtk_init or gnome-init.

Gnome-print uses the same coordinate system as PostScript page description language. I.e. initially the 0,0 is at lower-left corner of page, x grows to right, y upwards and one unit corresponds to 1/72th of inch. You can change coordinate system using following methods: gnome_print_translate (pc, x, y) gnome_print_scale (pc, xscale, yscale) gnome_print_concat (pc, matrix) If unsure, consult some textbook about computational geomtery.

moment (version 0.28) unfortunately not. This is much asked feature and will be present in next version of gnome-print.

Please note, that several methods use glyph, not character value. Glyphs are actual printable shapes, as opposed to characters, that are language units - so single glyph may represent many characters (ligatures) or single character may be represented by several glyphs. Glyphs are font-dependent.

Gnome is a free software and is part of the GNU project dedicated to give users and developers the ultimate level of contol over thier desktops there software and there data.

All graphic operators except line construction ones make currentpoint and currentpath value undefined. Most probably you are using bitmaps with alpha channel. As PostScript cannot print semitransparent images, all bitmaps with alpha are rendered into temporary buffer and later sent to printer as RGB bitmaps. That method has currently (version 0.28) hardcoded resolution of 72dpi.

Not really. It doesn't use the GNOME application framework. The only thing it has in common is GTK+. GIMP can optionally use gnome-vfs, allowing you to load and edit images from remote servers.

Inkscape will need to mature a bit further before this can be considered. Specifically, better support for embedding (Bonobo) is needed, and the Gnome-Print subsystem needs to be tested more thoroughly (help very much appreciated here). If you can compile a recent version of Inkscape and help us with testing it would be very useful.

Yes, we believe that Mono 1.0 is ready to be used as the main development platform for building applications for the GNOME desktop. Mono includes Gtk# a .NET binding for GTK+ and various GNOME libraries which together with C# and the System libraries provide developers with great productivity for building graphical applications especially when compared to GTK+ or Java Swing. Although we had plan to support Bonobo, we have not yet done any work on this area and it is no longer a high priority.

Yes, the Gtk# project provides bindings for Gtk+, Gdk, Atk, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, and libgnomeui. Other libraries under the GNOME framework will be added on an as-needed (and as-requested) basis.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Server all share the base (kernel, low level programme mes). This means you can install any of them on any other. GNOME is the default desktop for Ubuntu. It can also be installed with the ubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Ubuntu, please see Ubuntu on the desktop. KDE is the default desktop for Kubuntu. It can also be installed with the kubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Kubuntu, please see Kubuntu.

We have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding the real identity of The Metro Gnome. Sorry about that. But if word got out, he is SURE that he would be harrassed by paparazzi day and night. Best to keep it a secret and let him continue to dream about how popular and important he is. In the bigger scheme of things, it doesn't really matter who he is, just that he can hit deadlines (well, most of the time....) is opinionated, loves music, and can string a sentence together.

There is also a port of Dropline GNOME 2.14.1 desktop available, for download a bittorrent link is provided. Reinstall the nvidia drivers. 32x11 contains generic 32-bit OpenGL libraries, which overwrite the NVidia drivers.

A unique platform like Mono deserves a unique IDE like MonoDevelop that can take full advantage of the framework capabilities. Features like code completion, integrated unit testing, class browser, etc. would be much more difficult to implement for example in a C based IDE. The Mono platform also provides some features that are ideal for the development of an IDE.

Beginning Fall 2007, printouts made to the Black and White laser printers and Color printers will be automatically debited from your Carolina Card general fund account through CS Print. Money can be deposited to your Carolina Card online at vip.sc.edu and will be credited within half an hour. If you have any questions about CS Print, please see a Help Desk staff member. other printouts can be paid for with cash, debit or Carolina Card.

When the project was started, the idea was to wrap the Gtk+ libraries with a set of C# classes. It quickly became apparent that the source parser and C# code generator could be used to wrap any GObject based API. Contributors started wrapping their favorite GNOME libraries. Mailing lists and a sourceforge project were already open under the gtk-sharp nomenclature and no compelling technical reasons for renaming presented themselves.

Yeah, use the configure option --enable-gnome. This enables the Gnome hints. In Fluxbox versions 0.1.12 and later this is the default. Simply link your ~/.blackboxrc to your ~/.fluxbox/init, for example with this command: $ ln -s ~/.fluxbox/init ~/.blackboxrc

Xorg and packages that depend on it are currently not included in NexentaOS, but at least Xorg will be in the next release. The packages from Alpha7 still work. To get them add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.nexenta.org/apt-gnusolaris elatte-unstable main contrib non-free This is a known bug in the Xorg "nv" driver. A workaround is to enable the following option in the Device section: Followed by restarting Xorg.
