For comparison here's the same image printed also by gimp with the same printer, but on windows.

Either post the source file so that others can test it, or fuck off. Also, the colour levels could also be affected by your camera.

why would you want to print a black image?

What did he mean by this?

Yes, but the print is actually green on the blacks. i can do a scan if you don't believe it

OP accidentally posted his new blog post "I'm to stupid to setup my printer" to Sup Forums instead of tumblr

It's a test print, see for what it should be

I used the same settingsi use in windows with gutenprint. what could be wrong other than a bad driver?

What's wrong is you actually printing things in 2017.

>printing

what is this 2006?

Here's a scan of both images plus a tux print on both linux and windows
Windows prints at the top and linux at the botton

Hey you dumb fucking ass retard,

Did you know that you used not Linux (the kernel), but CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) developed by Apple?

Literally kill your fucking self, you are a waste of oxigen.

Found your problem.
Your linux printer is upside down.

i would unironically test this but i never printed anyhting in color and dont have the color ink.

Black is still a color

The more freedom, the greener the pepper.

linux is fucking dog shit.

Shut up, Goolag.

CUPS doesn't actually rasterize or separate. That's usually done by GhostScript or some vendor bit.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

"Color Profiles" is the keyword here.
Your windows is correct, but your linux os too.
Check your colorprofile.
Don't know if that helps but eh here it goes

“Linux printing was designed and implemented by people working to preserve the rainforest by making it utterly impossible to consume paper.”
– Athas

Well yeah but the single black ink cartridge i have in my printer wont change color just because i printed it on another OS so i cant test this.

I think you should test it.
Either you prove yourself right or you shit a ton of bricks along with everyone else here.

Since you're so smart, tell me what's so wrong with me Gutenprint settings. Pic related

Output page

If there's one thing GNU/Linux does right is print servers.

Why the fuck should anyone listen to some faggot who can't even take a proper picture?

lol
you made posting this prints worth it

mention one bussines that use linux for print servers

Compare these settings to the Windows printer settings.
Also, printers are horrid little shits. It's possible that the Windows driver has a lot of little ad hoc fixes for obscure and undocumented issues with the hardware while the Linux driver devs just assume the printer actually follows specification.

all of them

>he can't write his own drivers
>laughingwhores.jpg

Any """bussines""" that gives a shit about CALs.

I could believe that FOSS color separation algorithms are shite.
You're not printing a photograph, though. Check to see what's going on with your black layer, because that image is completely grey and shouldn't even be touching the color jets.

>Compare these settings to the Windows printer settings.
Everything except i think the dither algorithm is the same

>Also, printers are horrid little shits.
Yes, and i don't blame linux for this. But still wanted to see if anyone could help

I think Linux fares decently if we count that printer manufacturers ignore it's existence and you find 276322782 drivers for Windows or Mac and 1 generic called "Linux" for all distros

>You're not printing a photograph, though.
I know, just test printing

>Check to see what's going on with your black layer, because that image is completely grey and shouldn't even be touching the color jets.

I know. actually this printer unless set to black and white it will also print with a little bit of cyan and magenta. Sill on windows even printing as color image you see it's black. yet on linux is fucking green.
>green on my peppers

Perhaps the separation algorithm is doing something stupid with the extra color jets. If you can set it to four color mode instead of six color mode, it might not do that. I can't say what effect it would have on your photos.

>scanning a printout

printing works better on loonix & OS X cuz of cups than any other OS

don't print from gimp

Is there any other way to print on Linux-based systems besided CUPS?

and cups is fantastic, the one thing apple did that was good other than inventing the smartphone

Any recommendation? I believe linux lacks good printing software

if you mean the pic, that isn't a scan. it's the original file i printed on linux and windows

i'll try and post here. i couldn't find in windows where to change the dithering algorithm, so i don't know how to make that the same in linux

Why does this make me think that Linux isn't used in the office environment as often because it can't print worth a shit?

That is one of the numerous reasons yes.

posting somebody that hates gnu and the free software movement

Really? Sounds like /ourguy/ then.

Did miltiple test, with different settings. still blacks look green, can only get black if i set the printer to black and white. but that means i can only print black and white photos in linux

works on my machine

works for me

in fact linux printing if anything is better. No questionable drivers to install, no bloatware utilities trying to parasite onto my system, it just werks without installing additional shit

What printers/paper/inks do you use?

>CUPS doesn't actually rasterize or separate. That's usually done by GhostScript or some vendor bit.
So a more blending edge version of ghostscript might give me the colors like they should?

Thanks stallman, let me print a 8x10 green pepper to conmerate your one million pasta

How come if i take a picture of a mirror and print it off its not reflective? why are printers so shit?

If your printer isn't fully compatible with CUPS then it's worthless crap.

>Profile generation on a Windows or macOS system is one of the easiest and most widely recommended methods to obtain a ICC monitor profile. Since ICC color profiles are written to an open specification, they are compatible across operating systems. Transferring profiles from one OS to another can be used as a workaround for the lack of support for certain spectrophotometers or colorimeters under Linux: one can simply produce a profile on a different OS and then use it in a Linux workflow.
Thanks. i'll try this tomorrow

see

Possibly? I still think it's a configuration problem.
Try playing with the dither algorithm
Try changing the ink type to four color and maybe the interleave method. Ensure your media type matches your paper.

>Try playing with the dither algorithm
>Try changing the ink type to four color
Did this but blacks are still green like peppers

>maybe the interleave method
let me try with different settings
>Ensure your media type matches your paper
the box of the paper says "Ultra Glossy Inkjet Photo Paper"
So "Ultra Glossy Photo Paper" should be ok
But let me try with Premium Glossy Paper since that's what i use in windows

what is Sup Forumss foss compatible printer of choice under

OP here, same question but under $400

changed the paper to Premium Glossy, the interleave method to alternate fill, the dither algorithm to eventone and the color correction to high accuracy and i know get black and darks as they should. white and light as they should. but everything in between is still green

>inventing
>apple
Bitch please.

Then go run the web on Winblows, you blue piller.

Those Xerox Phaser wax printers are pretty awesome I'm told.

I wonder if you've actually used one of these

was clearly sarcasm, dumbass
due to teh fact smartphones aren't a good thing.

dude just flip your printer cables
