Landscape printing

[Abrolag]

I'm a bit out of the loop here lately. Did the problems of landscape
printing get resolved?

Currently (with V 0.46) I have to save the file as a PDF via cairo then
load this into evince and print from there.

I'm a bit disappointed that nobody has commented on this :(

I think part of the problem is that printing in Windows has been broken until recently with scaling issues. These have now been resolved. Running Windows XP and Inkscape build 21345, I can print in landcsape. The only problem I can see is that the origin is offset by about one quarter inch or so. I printed the attached svg and it fit properly onto a 8.5x11 page when printed in landscape.

Thanks for these links.

While I appreciate that the devs are all working on their own time, this
makes depressing reading - such a long time for a bugfix.
I've never had any success compiling SVN versions so I guess I'm stuck
until the next release.

You can help reduce the time it takes to fix bugs, even if you can't fix
them yourself. The developers have to spend time answering mailing list
queries, writing (drawing) documentation, managing about-screen
competitions, and working out how to reproduce bugs that have been
reported. If you can do any of these things, you can save a developer's
time, which he or she can instead use to fix bugs and add new features.

And don't forget that helping out the community in that way gets you
more respect, which can be traded in at a later date for preferential
fixing of the bugs that annoy you.

I do provide help where I can on several projects (mostly music
related), but my time is also limited as I, too, have to hold down a
full-time job!

In that case you can try your luck here

These builds are from february, which is quite a bit younger than v0.46!

Can someone put a link in the download section of inkscape.org to these sites?
