Comment 13 for bug 1418865

I installed 0.91 today (Windows 64-bit, msi installer) and I had a similar problem.

I tried printing a page and the background was all black. After various tests (adding/removing elements from the page) I found out that this was caused by the opacity of some Objects. More specifically, when some squares had 80% Opacity, the background would print black. When I would put them at 100% everything was printed fine.

I repeated the tests with a virtual pdf printer and I got the same results. I also tried installing Inkscape (same version/installer) on a friend's computer (windows 64-bit) and got the exact same results.

Here is the test case I run:

- Open a new document
- Create a square inside the page
- Set the opacity of the square at any number below 100 (ie 80%)
- Print the page (doesn't matter if vector or bitmap)
- The background of the page is printed black
- Set the opacity of the square at 100%
- Print the page
- The background of the page is printed white

If you believe that this is a separate bug and needs its own entry let me know and I will create a new post.
