I can confirm this bug in ubuntu 8.04, inkscape version 0.46

We have a Sharp MX4501 in our office and it's loaded with both A4 and A3 in different input trays. Trying to print an image of A3 size it will print about 1/2 of the drawing on an A4 sheet, and then spit out an empty A4 afterwards...

Workaround for now: Administration | Printing and set the paper size in Printer options, and rotation in Job Options.

Then print from inkscape. Bob's very much my uncle with full-size A3 color print :)

Now, inkscape probably should have a "Page setup" menu item in the file menu, as other applications do have (like Firefox). Then this would be much easier (No need to go to Administration | Printing). I don't know why the Page setup is a separate entry and not included in the CUPS print dialog, but that's another discussion.
