@Alex Valavanis - AFAIK (based on <http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libgtk2.0-0>) Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) installs GTK+ 2.24.10, which would make printing directly from within Inkscape affected by upstream GTK+ bug #998156: printing via GTK+ cups backend from within Inkscape has been broken since GTK+ 2.24.9, and all efforts to get the known fix - which had been committed for GTK3 only - backported to upstream GTK2 failed so far (upstream bug breaks printing on OS X too, for example, which uses the same cups backend).

I recieve a message within my printer queue 'processing' but nothing is happening. if I change from vector to bitmap and send a second request a second item appears in the print queue. Only when I cancel the vector print request does the second request change fro pending to processing, to printing. and the print job is executed. I have a bog standard Epson Stylus SX210 printer. I downloaded more drivers, just to ensure no conflict, but same problem. If I change to LibreDraw, import the same graphic file IT PRINTS ON DEMAND???????? Resolution would be good. I can find no way of making the change from vector to bitmap a default.
