* Convert texts to paths doesn't work. (not actually printing related but part of the cairo renderer and maybe the freetype/win32 font issue)

The suggested fix for the blocks of white and black is to use cairo_win32_printing_surface_create() instead of cairo_win32_surface_create(). You need to patch gtk for that, not Inkscape.
