I did not try printing these particular files, but I'm afraid they are not optimized for printing (to put it mildly). They are much larger than standard page, especially the tutorial, and Inkscape cannot yet break large things into pages for printing. They are intended for on-screen perusal. Try to draw something in a new document within a canvas frame and print it; if this works then the problem is with the tutorial size, not with Inkscape printing. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f...
