My guess is that you print via Postscript, and Postscript does not support gradients. When other vector apps export things like transparency or gradients to PS, they "simulate" them, usually by bitmaps. Inkscape does not yet do that. But it's just a guess, your bug may be different. Please do file a bug report.

well.. just a 2 cents (euro) stupid idea/question i export from inkscape to png a gradient i import that png into ooffice i print the document (via cups on redhat )? postcript ? the gradient print well...

ooffice did the bitmap conversion ? cups don't use postcript ? i understood nothing ?
