Inkscape and Printing

[joescroller]

Each time I try to test print a page from Inkscape, it sends the item to the printer I think but the printer will not print form Inkscape...anyone else experience this problem...if so, lemme know what you did to resolve it if it actually can be resolved.

Thanks

Does it give you an error? Or does it print with nothing on it? Is your drawing on the actual piece of paper when you print it. If its outside paper, it won't print.

 

If worse comes to worse, you could save it as a PDF. First, save it like normal. Then go to File>Save A Copy. From the pulldown, choose "PDF via Cario" and save it to your desktop. Then doubleclick your PDF and print from the PDF viewer. Most printers should be able to print a PDF.

Nothing happens in that I see the item was sent to the printer...i.e. the printer wakes up and shows up in the task bar but nothing happens to initiate the printing process...just sits there for a few and then the printer icon dissappears.

I had the same issue,Like travis said,save it as a PDF file and you should be good to go.It solved my problem.

Okay. Thanks guys. That's works fine for me too. Too bad I cannot figure out the real cause but what the heck!

Ya know, I have the same problem with GIMP and will handle it that way too.

Happy scrolloing!

Jo, make sure the "print to file" box is not checked.

Sue.

Thanks but it's not checked. It's a puzzle. Inkscape and Gimp are the only two programs I'm having the same problem .

I select print, verify my printer and the number of cpoie, select print, the printer wakes up, the que is empty...the doc never gets sent to the printer!

Thanks for your interest, Sue.
