Title: adding a new printer
Post by: tez06 on November 07, 2021, 01:15:32 PM
Hi Guys, was wondering how to add my large format printer, i have a HP Latex 360 and it is not showing up on the list it is on a network, reason i am asking is because my current rip (Cadlink print and cut) doesn't have the capability to do canvas wrap (mirror effect) where as i believe qimage does, i have seen a video on utube that demonstrates how to do this some years ago but cant seem to find it now, any help appreciated :-)

Terry.

Does that printer have a Windows printer driver?  I don't see one on the HP support website.  You need a Windows printer driver for Qimage to operate the printer.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike thanks for your help, it doesnt seem like windows has a driver for this printer, however i use a rip software to print from this machine, i want to create canvas gallery wraps be it mirrored edge or just standard, can quimage  do this and can i export as a tif file and export to print with my rip?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.  You can set up the mirror borders in Qimage and print to file.  When you print to file, you'll get TIFF (or JPEG) images of the prints.

Mike
