[Inkscape-devel] printing - rendering bitmaps

Hello everybody,

I hope folks will apologize me asking for simpe end-user advice:

When calling the "printing" dialog, there is a tab "rendering". There I can select "vector" or "bitmap" and set the resolution for the bitmap. As I want to print a self-made map with a scan in the background, the "bitmap" option seems reasonalble to me. But lowering the resolution doesnt make any difference, files are as big as they are when I leave the "rendering" tab set to "vector".

Is that a bug - or is my assumtion wrong, that this tab should have an influence to the resolution of embedded bitmaps? (Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, inkscape 0.48 X11)

Thanks and greetings, Wolf
