Printing from Inkscape


Hi-
i have created an image in inkscape that i would like to print. I think Inkscape may be a Gnome application, but i am using it in KDE. When i click print, and the dialog comes up to issue a command to print, i put the following in the box:
Code:
lp | kprinter --stdin
this brings up my trusty Kprinter window so i can select my print options and print the image. But when i press print, i get an error message: Stdin is empty, no job sent. See the image here:
http://img78.exs.cx/img78/9794/inkscape_print_error.png

how can i print from this application? I don't want to export it to a bitmap, i need to keep it vector and print it.

Thanks,
-myk

found a workaround.. Export the file you're working on as a postscript file. Next, print by using the console command:

Code:
cat my_filename.ps | kprinter --stdin
a bug report has been filed with the inkscpae crew. But if anyone figures out how to solve this, please speak up.
