I use Inkscape 0.91 with Win 7 Home.
Any file that I print has a black background. Even a completely new, empty file, as follows:
- File > New
- File > Print > Select printer > Print
For the above steps, all the following show a black page:
- Print preview
- Print
- Print to PDF.
I would be grateful for any advice.

Re: A new empty file prints a black page.
Unfortunately a known issue with the 64bit packages of Inkscape 0.91 for Windows: Known workarounds: save a copy as PDF (according to feedback by users Inkscape's own PDF output is not affected) and print this PDF with your preferred PDF viewer; or install the 32bit package of Inkscape 0.91 instead.
