Printing photos

Introduction

This page describes how to print photos. It’s best to do this procedure on a currently unused virtual desktop, as the screen is going to get a bit crowded.

Procedure

  1. Go to the start button, open a file manager and resize/position it so that it occupies the left half of the screen.
  2. Go to the start button, then to Multimedia and select Photo printer; the Gnome Photo Printer window appears. Resize/reposition it so that it occupies the right half of the screen, next to the file manager.
  3. In the Gnome Photo Printer window, go to the the ‘Layout’ tab and set the size of the photos you want, as show in the the following picture:printing-photos-tabs
  4. In the Gnome Photo Printer window, go to the the ‘Paper’ tab and adjust the size of the margins; 0.5cm should be sufficient.
  5. In the Gnome Photo Printer window, go to the the ‘Files’ tab.
  6. In the file manager window, navigate to the directory containing your photos are.
  7. Drag the photos into the Gnome Photo Printer window, as shown in the following picture:printing-photos-selection
  8. Repeat the previous step for all the photos you want to print.
  9. Click the ‘Preview’ button to see a preview, but if you decide the layout is acceptable and want to print it, don’t use the preview window’s print button. When you have finished with the preview window, close it.
  10. Click the ‘Print’ button to print the photos.
