Get updated in the wonderful world of jAlbum

If you have an inkjet printer you might have asked yourself why there is no print support within Jalbum. Well now there is!

I've now developed a printing plugin for Jalbum using the new plugin system of Jalbum 8. This is what it is capable of:

  • It prints full size images (using the max dimensions of the page in your printer)
  • It can add file names and captions below the images
  • On Mac, it lets you preview, print PDFs and select number of images per page too (1,2,4,6,9,16). Future versions will probably allow this on Windows too.

 

To install, simply copy JPrint.jar to Jalbum's "ext" folder. Then restart Jalbum.
To use, simply select the images to print inside Jalbum, then right click any of these images and select "Print..." from the popup menu.

This plugin is released as open source under the liberal Apache 2.0 license. Get the source code here.
I hope you wish to improve it. What do you think?

Hi. Sorry, it currently only supports one row. This is something I have to look into, but most of all I'd like our user community to extend this printing plugin as the source code is available. Anyone interrested?
