Printer Calibration: Various issues

[helmut]

I like the idea of having a print calibration. Has this been discussed in the XnView forum, before?

The print calibration needs some minor changes to make it working, well:

1. Button "Test page"
Currently, the button "Test page" isn't very meaningful. Instead, the button should be renamed to "Printer calibration..."

2. Message box
Currently, a test page is printed right after pressing the button. O.k., the button is labelled "Print test page", so no real surprise. But a message box explaining what's going on would be good. E.g.

- Printer calibration -
In the printer calibration XnView's print size is calibrated with the actual print size. The calibration is performed once and consist of the following steps:
1 - XnView prints testpage with rectangle
2 - You measure the actual size of the printed rectangle
3- You enter the measured size in a dialog.

3. No question message box
The question message box should not be displayed. Instead, the dialog for inputting the actual size should be improved.

4. Dialog for inputting actual size
The dialog for inputting size should be improved. At the top there should be a description, telling what the user should specify in this dialog. E.g.
"Below, please specify the actual size that you have measured for the printed rectangle."

What happens if you have multiple printers? Is printer calibration per printer?

Support, support, support!

And, one more small issue:
My printer does nothing. No rectangle, no print job - nothing ....
