Printing produces two pages

[twworthington]

This is based on SVN 16901

I have gtk 2.12.2-r2, gtkmm 2.12.1, cairo 1.4.12, GPL Ghostscript 8.60 on Gentoo Linux.

When I try to print the document at

http://www.tww.cx/downloads/boxtest.svg

(basically a rectangle on an A4 page) the output is the postscript file at

http://www.tww.cx/downloads/boxtest.ps

This does not seem to set the bounding box quite right (or at least, it does not identify the page size as "A4"), and includes an extra blank page.

Looks like the box is causing a page wrap in postscript or something...

I was just looking at this yesterday and I've noticed that the printing
and print preview (via evince) is producing two pages on EVERYTHING, but
if I save to PDF it comes out with just the one page as expected. I've not
untangled the code path far enough to locate the problem but this suggests
that the issue is "this side of" Cairo, I think.

Does that give you any clues?

I am running Inkscape 0.46 on an Up-to-date Ubuntu Hardy machine, and I receive extra pages with every inkscape job I print. Please let me know what I can do to help track this one down. :)

Same here, even a new blank document will print two pages. Fedora 9, inkscape-0.46-2.fc9.x86_64.

Same here, happened in Fedora 9, now happens in Fedora 10, inkscape-0.46-6.fc10.x86_64 on every computer (3+) that I have printed from inkscape on.

Confirming bug on Kubuntu 8.10 with Inkscape 0.46 - blank page is added to each printed document :(

Confirming bug on Ubuntu 8.10 x64 with Inkscape 0.46 - blank page is added to each printed document, too :(((

Confirmed on Ubuntu Jaunty Inkscape 0.46
Also confirmed the workaround from twworthington: Save as PDF works fine.

I also observed this behaviour, but I couldn't reproduce it with today's svn version (Revision 21233). So the problem seems to be fixed.

[Guillermo Espertino (Gez) (gespertino-gmail)]

Seems to be fixed now.
Please re-open if you find the bug still present in SVN

[Elijah Lynn (elijah-lynn)]

This bug is present in OS X 10.5.8 with Inkscape 0.46.
