A few minor improvements have been made to the Win32 printing patch, and it's as ready as I think it will get for 0.46 release. Can someone please commit it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/179988/comments/139
Here's the latest information on printing under Win32;
Non-printing - FIXED
Default page size problems - FIXED
Print Scaling problems - FIXED
White or black boxes over printing - FIXED - GTK uses the
wrong call in Cairo (create_win32_surface, not the create_win32_printing_surface). There is a patch in the GTK bug tracker to fix this, but in the meantime we have bypassed that part of GTK. The code will revert to GTK automatically when GTK itself fixes the problem.
- All known crashes - FIXED
Adrian Johnson has patched the Cairo libs to fix a rare crash with radial gradients.
- There are two patched libs here (needs both) -
http://annarchy.freedesktop.org/~ajohnson/cairo/
- A patch has also been submitted to the Cairo git repository -
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=cairo;a=commit;h=ae9635bf33cb
989f5c525800b82b81daad699e01
- If the cairo dlls for inkscape are built by patching 1.5.14
instead of building from git head Adrian recommends also getting the PostScript bug fix as well: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=cairo;a=commit;h=13e05bffd5ca

Remaining problems with Windows printing are;
- Some blurs are misaligned/mis-scaled - see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/205732 The workaround is to print to bitmap (under rendering in the print dialogue)
- When printing falls back to bitmap, the bitmap is not
always an ideal resolution. Again the workaround is to print to bitmap (Print -> Rendering -> Bitmap).
