I know I saw someone else post something about this. I cannot seem to print in landscape mode in Inkscape 0.46. I used a slackbuild from Slackbuilds.org on Slackware 12.1 (source compile). I tried the workaround posted on the site below, but lpr apparently expects a printer directly hooked to a parallel port and mine is a network printer.

I also tried printing to a file and then to the printer (an HP LaserJet 6MP hooked to an HP JetDirect 300x Network printing interface), I still got portrait mode.
I suppose I can do everything in Landscape, then group the whole works and rotate it 90 degrees, but I am wondering if someone has found a workaround for this.
The workaround I'm using is to export to pdf, then print the pdf in evince.
