    Hello and good day,

    I have been attempting to finish a project that I've started in Inkscape but have ran into an issue.

    I'm clipping a series of photos into a shape that I can print out for a project however when I attempt to print the objects, the sheet either doesn't print anything or it prints partial objects.

    The page size is correct for what I'm doing so that isn't it. I am able to save the file as a .svg and have another program print it with no issues.

    Some posts back I saw a few saying that in the print dialog that there will be a Render tab and you need to make a change in it. However on my system, there is no render tab at all.

    This is the latest version of Inkscape and Windows 11.

    I know that I can export and print that a way but was hoping that maybe someone may have a direction that I can be leaned towards.

     

    Thank you for your time!

    Unfortunately printing seems to be one of the things Inkscape is severely lacking in. Personally I have given up on it and save as PDF before printing from Acrobat Reader.

    It's a bit of an inconvenience but not a big deal for me. Is there any reason you want to print from within Inkscape?

    Hello and thank you for a response!

    I would've liked for the result in Inkscape to be printed from there just as a convenience factor. I have read about the export and then print "solution" but I also have seen that some folks had a tab that once you click on it, you can change a preference and get Inkscape to behave better.

    Looks like this side of Inkscape is still an Achilles heel unfortunately.

    Guess I never had to print from Inscape before so I never really noticed that this didn't work before.

    Thanks for the response. It did not solve the issue but it is letting me know that I may have to see about taking a different direction on the project (use different software)

    Time to dust off the thinking cap...
