** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) => gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530101 Title: Printing SVG image renders wrong Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Not sure this is the right package, but I need to start somewhere.

Click "Print preview" for either a real printer or the PDF printer. Notice that the image is now broken. Something similar happens when trying to print from inkscape (Vector rendering is broken, Bitmap rendering is okay), so I suspect this is somewhere in the printing backend.
