Assuming you are now using the cairo_win32_printing_surface you should
be getting all vectors for simple stuff like text/stroke/fill with solid
opaque colors. Transparent colors are likely to result in fallback
images as they are not supported by GDI.

Redirecting the cairo drawing to a PDF file as described in

https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/179988/comments/82

is a good way to determine whether a problem is in Inkscape or cairo.
