I tried some simple C code for drawing a two circles, one with a radial
gradient, and was
unable to reproduce this problem. It looks like I would need to run
Inkscape with your test
file to debug it.

How much work is involved in setting up mingw to compile Inkscape? I
started following the
instructions here:
http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32_inkscape_org/win32buildnotes.html
however the link to the preassembled mingw is not working.

If it is going to take some time to set up, are you interested in making
a zipped up copy of
your Inkscape build environment available for download so I can just
unzip it and start debugging?

Have you tested the patch in comment 102 that includes the workaround to
make the
gtk print dialog use the cairo_win32_printing_surface ?
