woodknots Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I just bought a new epson printer wf-7610. It's able to print up to 11"x 17" I can't get it to print that size from inkscape or gimp and their tech support was no help. It will print in word but cant find a way to get the right size. I have all the settings on gimp and inkscape set to the right size paper. Is there anything you could think of that would help.

DWSUDEKUM Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Perhaps uninstall Gimp and Inkscape and install the most recent versions. The driver for that printer series might be corrupted in the build. At the very least uninstall GIMP and Inkscape and reinstall, this might clear up your issues.

crupiea Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 When i want to print bigger stuff i do it from excel. it will let you put the picture across mutliple pages. i then print it out, cut it and tape the pages together. not exactly what you seek but easy solution. also scalable to whatever size you want so you are no longer hemmed into what the printer or margins tell you you can and cant do. woodknots and Phantom Scroller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW DW thanks for the advice it worked i do have to get up out of my comfy recliner to hit a button on the printer to accept the size but it works so thanks. Crupiea if it stops working i will try your fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
