miserably or take several hours to do something trivial.<br>
<br>
I am currently trying to print an image on my OKI MC342N printer from<br>
Digikam 4.12.0 on my xubuntu 16.04 system.<br>
<br>
I am using Digikam's "Print Assistant" in the Image menu.<br>
<br>
I want to print on 10cm x 15cm paper which is in the printer's second<br>
paper tray.<br>
<br>
So I select "10 x 15 cm - 1 photo", click "Next", I'm happy with the<br>
Cropping so I click "Finish". This is where the problem starts, I<br>
can't set anything useful on the printer. In the 'Page' tab all I can<br>
do is set the page size and orientation, the 'Advanced' tab just shows<br>
me what the settings there are but doesn't allow me to change<br>
anything. In particular I can't tell the printer which tray to use,<br>
nor can I change any of the colour settings.<br>
<br>
Other programs seem to work OK with the OKI so why can't Digikam?<br>
