Fresh install Ubuntu 24.04 and darktable is not showing the print module in ‘Other’. Is this perhaps because I installed it before I installed the printer?
Also, while my monitor is showing accurate colours my Epson XP970 is printing a tad darker in the black areas while the whites are rather nice. Cannot find a way to adjust the gamut from the Ubuntu settings. Wondering if this can be achieved from within darktable once I have the print module working.
Unless you already have it on you could try printing with black point compensation on…this can lighten the blacks sometimes…if its already set just ignore me…
OK this is sorted… I installed through the terminal but this was 4.6 which included the printer module. Than I installed flatpak in the terminal as well and this was 4.8.1 with printer module.
OK, colour issue with printer is nearly sorted. I downloaded gutenprinter and it has a driver for my printer. From there I can adjust several settings, many in fact. I have not yet found a perfect setting but close enough not to waste the ink. Shadows are now nearly perfect.
Gutenprinter functions best when printing in Gimp.
