Bug Description
On Windows XP 32 bits
Whereas I didn't have any print problem with Inkscape 0.48.1.2, the 0.48.2.1 version and the nightly builds between those 2 versions don't allow to print large designs (several Mo).
It spools something to the printer but it is probably empty.
The same happens when I try to print on PDFCreator which returns an empty blank PDF.
If I validate the printer bitmap option instead of the vectorial one it prints correctly (an ugly bitmap of the SVG file).
However, printing lightweight files operates normally.

There are no nightly builds of the 0.48.x branch for Windows available. Could you please tell which revisions of the development branch (those packages which had been available on inkscape. modevia. com) you used to test printing with (see Inkscape menu 'Help > About Inkscape')? And confirm that the same issue occurs indeed with the latest stable release 0.48.2?
> The same happens when I try to print on PDFCreator
What happens when saving a copy as PDF (vie 'File > Save a copy') instead of printing to a PDF printer?
> don't allow to print large designs (several Mo)
Could you please attach a sample file which doesn't print allow testing on other systems? Does it depend on whether there's heavy use of filter effects (including blur) or reduced opacity of objects or groups, reduced transparency of fill or stroke, or patterns with clipped objects (e.g. due to having imported PDF or EPS files), etc. …?
Possibly related to the fix (in the development builds only) for bug #494115, to the upgrade of cairo in general (0.48.1: 1.8.8, 0.48.2 1.10.2, 0.48+devel: 1.11.2), or - if confirmed for the nightlies only, to the merge of the new cairo-renderer.
