Pilprint

[Chris Jankowski]

I am a newbie to the world of Python and trying to print some
images(.tif). I have installed the PIL Library and can use the some
of the fuctions like: m.format, im.size, im.mode without any problem.
When I try to use the Tools like pilprint and pilfile, I can't seem to
get them to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Examples:

pilfile *.tif Traceback ( File "<interactive input>", line 1
pilfile *.tif
pilprint 'c:/chris.TIF'

Traceback ( File "<interactive input>", line 1
pilprint 'c:/chris.TIF'
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Thanks,

Chris J.

pilprint (etc) are programs, not Python statements. you're supposed
to run them from the standard command line, not Python's interactive
prompt.

depending on your operating system, and how things are set up, some
of these should work:

pilprint.py c:/chris.tif
python pilprint.py c:/chris.tif
pilprint c:/chris.tif

Thanks, I got it to run, but now I have a Broken Pipe Error. Any
ideas? We are using a network printer. Would that have anything to
do with it? Also, I got an error message about not supporting group
4, when I tried it with a .tif image, are they supported?
