Comment 3 for bug 964726

agreed, all other programs seem handle printing properly. on my arch machine, the problems started when the libpng and libtiff packages were updated. many programs needed to be updated to work properly with the updated libs- among them was Inkscape. there must be some communication problem with the driver regarding those libs.

I wish I could use the workaround more regularly but I use Inkscape for work and it takes too long. it still works on my Ubuntu 10.04 installation, so I'm using that for now... but then I also don't have the latest and greatest gimp!
