Bug Description
When I print a document to my printer, it prints as if the entire page has been shifted up and left by about a quarter inch.
I've attached a .ZIP file that holds three examples of the bug. The first is the .SVG file in question, which I created for this experiment (so it should be bug-free). It shows a box whose boundaries are 1/4" from each edge of the paper, so the box measures 8" x 10.5". The second file is the PDF output of the document, using the Save As command. (This PDF, opened in a normal PDF viewer, prints fine.) The third is a photo I took of the printout I got when I printed the SVG file.
In the photo, I've marked up the printed page to show the increased right and lower margins. (Note that they are different. I believe this is a natural outcome of the printer, which does not offset perfectly, of course — there is usually a little extra space at the top of a page where the printer has to grab the paper — but the idea is that they are roughly 1/4" each.)
I also tried this with another Inkscape document, this time with a box 7.5" x 10". It, too, printed as if it were shifted up and left by a quarter (again, the vertical shift was slightly less — by the same amount as before: just shy of an eighth of an inch).
My OS (Windows 7 64-bit), printer (Brother HL-2170W), and Inkscape (0.48.2) are all up to date.
