Printing multiple vector. Help!

[Ramon SF]

Good afternoon, to print several copies of a file in Vector, the printer prints only the first copy, the following prints out the white paper without printing anything.  You know how to fix it?

I prefer to print in vector accuracy (you can solve the problem by printing bitmap or pdf).

Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum!

What you describe sounds like this bug:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/490866

If you read through that report, there is a suggested work-around for Windows.  I've never tried it myself, so I'm not sure how well it works.

Or, PDF can have both raster and vector contents.  So if you save the SVG file as PDF, you still have the vector accuracy.  And then you can use printing features of PDF viewer (Adobe or other).

Thanks brynn. I tried the Net Skulptron solution but it did not work. Perhaps it is due because my printer is the Epson 2500 and the recommended solution of Net Skulptron as "Print Task Quick Sets>Apply>Ok" does not appear and  I tried to "Reset". I will keep trying.

Maybe you could use PDF?

[Ramon SF]

Yes, pdf works. Although I would prefer vector printing directly in Inkscape, dimensional accuracy is perfect, and printing is always high quality.
Yours faithfully.

PDF can hold the vector content, and the vector accuracy is identical to Inkscape.  (Well, it should be.  If not, we should investigate.)  I think a lot of people use PDF for printing from Inkscape.

Ok, it seems that printing multiple copies in Inkscape is complicated, I will try to print them in pdf again. Thank you brynn.
Yours faithfully.
