Just tested with the latest SVN, the patch from comment 102 and the latest patches on #187290 and everything works pretty well for me, but sadly it doesn't fix the radial gradient with stroke thing, so it's not just a simple dll issue. I will try with an earlier lib bundle to see what happens.

Here's where we're at with this (I think)
* Most printing bugs sorted, including white blocks if we use the GTK bypass hack.
* Mostly doing great clean vector prints, with some features falling back to bitmap
* Blurs aren't perfect
* Radial gradients with stroke can cause an error message, which if abort is clicked will crash, but clicking ignore returns OK.
* Printing as bitmap is always perfect, and the dpi can be upped to get the desired output level, just not ideal for sending files to others.

Is this an 'acceptable output', as Ulf put it before?
Is it OK to put this out with the radial gradient crash possibililty? I'm happy to put it out with everything else as is.

The other options really are;
* Patch most things but don't bypass GTK and get white blocks (and I think no radial gradient problem), and hopefully a patched GTK will fix this in the near future.
* Revert to the old print dialog (and fix for 0.46.1).

Any thoughts?
