Hello,
I want to in a script print out an image with Gimp, rotated to landscape. I can not find anywhere how to automatically print the image with the gimp batch command.
Can anyone please help me. I wrote the above command, but it did not work.

Did you mean print as in send to the printer?

I wonder if ImageMagick would be more appropriate for this task. I've never used command line GIMP, but that seems like a big program to use for such a small task.

Yes, I think your suggestion is a good solution, merrak. Use imageMagick to manipulate the image and use one of the numerous Window's utilities available that sends a file to the printer via batch files. Aside from the standard "print" command, a quick search turned up PrintFile and JPTI.

I'm sure there are other suitable utilities so my advice would be to pick the best tool(s) for the task.

IMHO, given that the print driver is also going to massage the picture there is no need to rotate it first. A picture with a 90° rotation on a portrait printout is the same as one with a 0° rotation on a landscape print.

You guys are right, thanks. I setted Irfanview to print in Landscape and best fit to page, and I just printed the image. It was so much easier.
