Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a blank document
2. "File > Print"
3. In the "Rendering" tab select "bitmap"
4. Click "Print"

Expected behavior: Page should print as blank white.

Actual behavior: The blank background prints as solid black.

Workaround: Add a solid white rectangle that covers the full page (and move to the bottom of the z-index if there is anything on the page you want to see).

Discussion: I'm using the raster printing backend because the vector backend has margin offsetting problems as described in following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/918319

Tested using Inkscape 0.91, 64-bit msi installer, Windows 7

Additional data:
================
Observed so far with these printers:
- Win7 x64 / Toshiba estudio3540c
- Win7 x64 / Ricoh Aficio SP C420DN
- Win7 x64 / PDFCreator 1.7.2

It may be a duplicate, except in my case it only happens with raster printing--not vector printing.
