Description: I have created a logo in Inkscape that has a blurred shadow under the text. The size of the SVG image is exactly the size I want in my Writer document. The text has been converted to curves to be able to scale the image to any size I want and so the characters are individual objects. When importing the shadows of the character are no longer aligned to the middle but occur in various positions relative to the characters. Some are more to the left other more to the right and again others up or down. Alternatively I tried a thin outline for each character but the imported SVG shows thick outlines covering halft of the characters space. Steps to Reproduce: 1.create an text in Inkscape (my version 0.91 r13725) 15 x 40 mm 2.convert the text to paths and duplicate the object 3.change the colour to black with fuzziness of 3.0 4.move the so created shadow to the background 5.save the SVG and import it to Writer Actual Results: See description Expected Results: Shadow should stay aligned as in the SVG image Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: de Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: yes

This error only occurs when printing directly through cups to PS printer. When printing to PDF the shadow is correct and the PDF then also prints correctly. So I assume this is a cups problem. If that is alos your opinion feel free to close this bug report.

I tried to save as PDF and print to PDF in Linux Mint 19.2 and I don't see a difference. So I'll close. If you still think this is a bug, please add screenshot of 2 PDFs side by side. Before you do it, it would be useful to test LO master 6.4+.
