I can't reproduce your problem here, but looking through the dependencies I see that inkscape nowhere mentions the package cupsys-client, which provides /usr/bin/lp.

If your problem was related to these bug reports, I'd expect your printer to spit out empty pages though. > > It would also be nice if Inkscape would use the default GTK/GNOME > printing dialog, but it seems that this is already planned for a future > upstream release (?).
