[Inkscape-user] Printing in Inkscape

Hi all,

I'm running Inkscape 0.42 on Ubuntu 5.10, and I can't get Inkscape to talk to my printer... It's an HP Deskjet 5740, and Inkscape is pretty much the only app that won't work with it.

I tried replacing "lp" in the printer dialogue command line with "lpr", but that didn't work either... is there some method of getting Inkscape to just talk to the Gnome Printer Manager for printing?

I've tried exporting as EPS and PDF to print in other apps - Evince or Acroread - but exporting to those formats seems to mess up the SVG gradients, and exporting to another format just to print is a workaround, not a fix!

Hopefully someone can help - I've had a look thru the documentation and some of the Inkscape websites with no luck so far...
