[Gramps-users] [SOLVED - sort of] Re: Printing problem with Relationship Graph

[doug <do...@o2...>]

The problem turned out to be a printing problem with 
Inkscape - it wouldn't print SVG, though I could output to a 
PDF file and print that.

I got rid of some error messages by uninstalling inkscape 
and uniconverter and re-installing them, uniconverter first, 
though Inkscape still wouldn't print and no job seemed to 
have been forwarded to the printer.

In the end I discovered that File=> Print=>Print just 
refused to work.
But File=>Print=>Print Preview. Click on the Print icon. 
Worked perfectly even with svg files.

Very peculiar!

Doug
