Inkscape

Using a Canon IP4200 to print a poster

Asked by lum

Printing an SVG poster (17in x 22in) results in only the first sheet (upper left of four sheets) and the usual text and markings for cutting and pasting the four sheets together are not printed.

However, using InkScape's tool to convert to PDF results in a file which reflects the Canon IP4200 setup to print a poster and the four sheets print normally.

I've tried both the latest driver for the printer and the driver included with the install CD.

Your thoughts will be warmly received.

InkScape ver .46
Win2000 SP4

all MS updates installed.

I've experienced some odd behaviour printing from inkscape under Windows to a IP4200 too, like missing text or paths. Sometimes selecting the "missing" object and re-applying the fill color fixes the issue.

This is not an issue under Linux.

Can you help with this problem?
