Good day to you,
The results you asked for are attached.
I tried during the 'print to file to save in pdf, ps and svg formats.
All have the same result when it comes to output,(screenshot of printer queue)
As a new member of the Linux community things are a little different.
When I first started to list the problem I was inside the Inkscape FAQ site and noted that there
were several similar queries for the same problem.
When I had finally navigated to an input box I had been directed to 'landscape',
so not easy to understand whom you are trying to talk too, or how to report a problem.
Again I am uncertain of the version of Inkscape, as it was mounted within UBUNTU 12.04
and I am not aware of how, at this time, to interrogate the software for details.
Regards.

Subject: [Bug 1075705] Re: Printing with default 'Vector' backend fails

- if you start Inkscape with a blank page and draw some graphics using the vector graphics tools like ellipse or rectangle, are you able to print using the vector output option?
- if you are able to produce an output file using the "Print to file" option in the printer driver, could you attach the file here for inspection?
- I should add that your previous attachments have not appeared on this bug report. You will need to go to the launchpad site at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1075705
and click on "add attachment or patch" and then click on "Browse" to add an attachment.

Title:
Printing with default 'Vector' backend fails

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
Incomplete

Bug description:
  When inside 'Inkscape' I cannot just click 'print' icon. experiments to date are that I have to change at each request to 'Bitmap' format rather than default 'vector' WHY.
  I recieve a message within my printer queue 'processing' but nothing is happening.
  if I change from vector to bitmap and send a second request a second item appears in the print queue.
  Only when I cancel the vector print request does the second request change fro pending to processing, to printing. and the print job is executed.
  I have a bog standard Epson Stylus SX210 printer. I downloaded more drivers, just to ensure no conflict, but same problem.
  If I change to LibreDraw, import the same graphic file IT PRINTS ON DEMAND????????
  Resolution would be good.
  I can find no way of making the change from vector to bitmap a default.
