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

@Alex Valavanis - AFAIK (based on
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libgtk2.0-0>) Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise
Pangolin) installs GTK+ 2.24.10, which would make printing directly from
within Inkscape affected by upstream GTK+ bug #998156: printing via GTK+
cups backend from within Inkscape has been broken since GTK+ 2.24.9, and
all efforts to get the known fix - which had been committed for GTK3
only - backported to upstream GTK2 failed so far (upstream bug breaks
printing on OS X too, for example, which uses the same cups backend).

Title:
  Printing with default 'Vector' backend fails

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  New
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
