print trouble

Postby darkan9el » Mon Jan 26, 2009 4:02 am

Hi all, got a printing problem.
see sig for system spec and external hardware.

Problem: I have created a very simple logo for printing but when I go to print it comes out wrong. The actual boxes are fine its the text that prints incorrectly. see result below:

if I save as a plain svg doc the text is all over the place. The original inkscape svg doc is fine and displays as I want it but won't print properly.

I think this may be a bug in the vertical text. As a workaround convert the text to path.
