<br>
Please be aware that the fix is in QT and has nothing to do with digikam. The issue which is fixed is that the Print Creator is unable to select anything other than non-standard paper sizes, in my case I was unable to select 5x7 borderless for my Canon iP7250 printer amongst other non-standard sizes. This is because it calls QT to do this.This bug affects any and all applications which use QT Printing Support.<br>
<br>
The problem you have Melissa sounds to me like a problem in digikam and this fix will do nothing for you. I suggest you start a new thread about your issue and follow up through that.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Installing a new digikam version wont help you. As long as the issue in<br>
QT I linked to before (<a href="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58733" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugreports.qt.io/brow<wbr>se/QTBUG-58733</a>)<br>
isn't resolved and released, it will persist. A solution is underway,<br>
but it will still take a while for it to make it into a new QT release,<br>
and then into the different distribution repos and/or our appimage. So<br>
don't hold your breath on this...<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I have followed this thread and installed 5.8.0 but I still cannot print anything but a thumbnail image.<br>
Is there anything you can suggest I do to change the size?<br>
I have tried resizing using GIMP to print as well to no avail<br>
Thanks in advance..<br>

This is still a problem with QT's print component:<br>

This hasn't seen any progress for a long time, but now there is a patch<br>
in review, so hopefully we will see a fix released in the near future.<br>

I decided to take a look at Print Creator using the latest 5.8<br>
appimage for 64 bit Linux.<br>
<br>
Printing a single image via GIMP works fine as long as I use a<br>
standard paper size like A4 or Postcard. However when I want to print<br>
a non-standard paper size which my printer supports like 7x5 inches<br>
there is no option for that size and no custom paper size, at least<br>
I've not found a way to set a custom size.<br>
<br>
This is an issue for me and actually 7x5 photo paper is quite common<br>
especially for Canon printers (and maybe others as well). I know I can<br>
scale a photo in GIMP to be that size but by the time the photo<br>
reaches GIMP it is already scaled by Digikam so I'm not working with<br>
the original.<br>
<br>
The current implementation to print via GIMP is fine if using standard<br>
paper sizes but to print on non-standard paper it is still better to<br>
open the image in GIMP and scale and print from GIMP.<br>
