Trying to print from the print menu in any format (pdf,postscript,svg) produces very low resolution output, like a very low DPI setting, completely unusable.

I have attached an example output.pdf

As a test, after downgrading to version 5.0.2 the printing works fine, so only 5.1.0 is affected.

@Mihai-

Can you attach images of your print dialog as well as the page settings for your printer output

Constantly requires exporting SVG then importing printing it at high resolution.

Importing the SVG into an image editor at high resolution then printing.

Zakhar, are you saying the printing is broken again? If so, then please add the usual version information.
