Let me explain once more what the patch does and does not, and then you can tell whether you see the same..

Without the patch: Using the default printer with the default pagesize gives no output. First selecting another printer or pagesize does. But both vector or bitmap prints too small.

The patch removes to pagesize selection done by Inkscape. This might help with the "cairo_win32_surface_create: The handle is invalid" error. The patch also set the GTK unit to points. If Inkscape uses points while GTK assumes pixels this should help with the size issue.

With the patch: It is possible to use the default printer with the default pagesize. Bitmap prints at full size. But vectors still prints too small.
