Inkscape

Printing issues since upgrading to Windows 10

Asked by Keeley

I've been using Inkscape to design my product labels for a number of years now. The labels are either square or circular and come on A4 sheets of paper. I have all my templates set up and have never had a problem with it.

We recently bought a new computer which has windows 10. I have gone to print my labels and all of them are now misaligned on the labels. I am using A4 settings on the computer and everything looks right on the screen (I have not changed the file) but when I print everything shifts 5mm to the right and 5mm up the page.

I have Inkscape installed on my parents computer and they have recently upgraded to Windows 10 so I made quick file on their computer and it also prints this way. This also happens if I PDF the file.

I have tested numerous other documents from Word, PDF's etc and all are printing fine so I am thinking it is something in the program.

How can I fix this please as I have lots of templates set up and really don't want to go through and realign them all "incorrectly" on the screen.

This sounds a lot like a bug. I reported it for you. Please add your inkscape version and any other information which seems even remotely useful there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1514765

I downloaded the newest version on the site of 0.91 and then redownloaded 0.48.5 Both of them did the same thing and my parents have .91 and it did the same. I tried printing on 3 different printers all were the same result as well as the PDF printers. I then tuned the old computer back on with Windows 7 and it worked fine.

I use Inkscape to print labels for my products and I have had buy a new program as I had orders to fill which needed labels. I appreciate this is a free software and I have recommended it to many people, but I can't wait for bug to be fixed sorry.

Can you help with this problem?
