Tested again with a similar drawing and margins, printing as a vector drawing directly from Inkscape. The drawing appeared to print as it should.

I setup the drawing with 0.5 inch margins using the guides. Checked the drawing in print preview and the drawing appeared normal. Upon printing, the drawing was shifted down 0.5 inches and the bottom of the drawing is cutoff. A reprint with no adjustment to the drawing produced the same results. Printer is HP5610. Printable area is normally 0.25 inches on sides and top and 0.5 inches on the bottom. The drawing should have fit into the printable area.
