Good day to you,
When operating under Windows (XP Pro, SP3) there are no issues.
I checked the setting port wise and we are connected via usb as normal not Lpt1
Which I think is a very outdated way of connecting any peripheral device these days.
The comment regarding saving as a print to file works and is saved but extraction to 'Print' results in the same non action,
i.e 'Processing'.
The file in question is a simple clip art manipulated under Inkscape and then expected to be printed for trace to glass.

The screen shot above still is able to print test, print self test and head clean. So there are no comm's problem between printer and Linux.
Problem exists within Inkscape as already mentioned. When same file is print requested from other software 'It Prints'.
S.O.W.E.T.O.N. A South African understands this as So Where to Now???
Regards.
Geoff.

Subject: [Bug 1075705] Re: Printing with default 'Vector' backend fails
normally the printer driver will have an option to print to a file
instead of a printer. Could you try this to see if you can generate any
kind of output? You will probably have to go to the printer driver,
select Properties, and select the Ports tab and select the output device
as FILE: instead of LPT1:. I'm on Windows, so your interface may look
different than this. This is just to check to see if any output is being
generated while in vector mode.
Title:
Printing with default 'Vector' backend fails
Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
Incomplete
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.
