Hello,
if I print using "Print..." in the file menu, no text is printed. If I print using "Print direct", all works.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? Also, the dots in "Print..." are confusing because no print dialog appears.
Regards, Bernhard

Not known in 0.42. Known issues can be found in the bug tracker BTW.
Please also always provide - version of inkscape you're using - where it came from (source, autopackage, rpm, deb etc) - version of your operating system - an example file which shows the behaviour
Pretty standard info, anyway.

Please also always provide
- version of inkscape you're using
0.42
- where it came from (source, autopackage, rpm, deb etc)
RPM from guru (Pascal Bleser) repository (http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/index.php)
- version of your operating system
SuSE 9.3, gtk 2.6.4, Kernel 2.6.11
- an example file which shows the behaviour
Attached (I think it's small enough).
While printing, on console appears following
=========================================================================== ** (inkscape:18963): WARNING **: failed request with status 200
(inkscape:18963): GnomePrintCupsPlugin-WARNING **: iconv does not support ppd character encoding: ISOLatin1, trying CSISOLatin1
** (inkscape:18963): WARNING **: failed request with status 200
** (inkscape:18963): WARNING **: failed request with status 200 ===========================================================================
But: Same warnings appears with glabels, and here it works. Also, and additional empty page is printed in inkscape.

This is unusual, and certainly not the case with CVS. The generated PS is okay in ggv, as well as printing it.
It might be possible there are issues with the RPM you got from the repository, and I ask you to wait a bit and try our upcoming static 0.42.2 RPMs.

Here, it would be interesting to get hold of the generated PS beforehand. But since you don't see the print dialog, you can't catch that I guess...
Thanks for the report, ralf P.S. Please use the bug tracker next time, else it will be forgotten

The static RPM does not contain two print menu points. Instead, the static RPM only prints with its internal Postscript generator (the same was "Print direct" in the other RPM from Guru).
So the problem is printing via printui from Gnome.

Right, don't know how to catch this Postscript file.

Should I enter this issue in the bug tracker now?

It suffices to complete the information in the still open RFE

Done.
I read there that the gnome-print is unsupported. Should I ask the packager to remove gnome-print support in your optinion?

It is a compile option therefore experimental!
I could not search the mailing list archives as sourceforge is still nearly unusable (and I hate it more from day to day). This page
http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PrintingSubsystem
appears to confirm that gnome-print is broken, so yes, do not use it as packager!

It is an unsupported, unmaintained and actually unimplemented feature :)

Try this, it's better: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel

Even though they are kind of confusing, the two print buttons are using different output drivers in Inkscape. The "Print..." button uses the default for how your Inkscape was compiled. It sounds like this is GNOME-Print for you. Our GNOME-Print support doesn't currently include the GNOME-Print UI for a GUI. Text should work though, that is a bug.

Can I provide more information to fix this bug?
