Hi,

I'm not sure if you want to print e.g. tif-images, but here is an example for that:

PROBLEM
How can I print a .tif or other graphic image files directly from the lp
spooler?

RESOLUTION
Note: This is public domain software and is not supported by HP, however
it should give the desired results.

There is Public Domain software available from http://hpux.cae.wisc.edu/hppd
that will allow printing of .tif files from the command line.

1. Download and install tiff-3.5.2, zlib.1.1.3 and jpeg-6b.

2. Using swcopy copy all into a single depot, with tiff3.5.2
copied last.

3. Install all three packages at the same time.

4. After the packages are installed a .tif file can be printed from the
command line with the following command:

/opt/tiff-3.5/bin/tiff2ps file.tif | lp -dprinter -opostscript

Note: file.tif is the .tif image file and printer is the
postscript capable printer.

Hi

This is neat

http://www.imagemagick.org/

treat your self to a great piece of software

ImageMagickTM is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in many image formats (over 68 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save your completed work in the same or differing image format. Image processing operations are available from the command line, as well as through C, C++, Perl, or Java programming interfaces.

Hi,

In your message

Hi

It is a great and stable tool . ImageMagick.

After the signature is just a quotation about unix meant purely for amusement.

Is ImageMagick also support direct print image file to local printer/remote printer?
