Mmmm, not sure if you are looking for something like "lp file.jpg -o
fitplot" :-?
Can you do that? ... I can't wait to try it out ...
OMG, OMG, exactly what I wanted!
Thanks a billion, Camaleón!
I also tried it, with a few modifications. I created the following one
line script, named photoprint:
lp $1 -d photo -o scaling=$2
Now, the command:
photoprint filename ##
where filename is the name of the file that I want to print, and ## is
the percentage of the page to use.
This allows me to print fullpage with:
photoprint filename 100
or any other percentage that I want. According to the manpage, using
'200' for the percentage will print across 4 pages (2 x 2). The "-d
photo" sends the output to the printer configured through CUPS to print
at higher resolution and colordepth than I normally use so that I can
get good image prints when I need them, but not waste time and ink for
my normal printing.
I have not tried printing at more than 100%, but it works perfectly at
50% and 25%.
