Ah, sorry, I forgot to actually upload the file.
OK, so it was the transition from Gutenprint 5.0 to 5.2 that caused
the problem. It is well possible that some parameters need to be set
differently in this version or I have made some other mistake in the
process of adapting the RISC OS layer. Of course it could be a genuine
problem in the actual Gutenprint library though this is less likely.

From what I have seen so far I would say that Draw 2.40 on RISC OS
6.14 is pretty much incapable of printing. In order to see that it is
not connected to Gutenprint, simply try printing to David Pilling's
SPrinter (sprite printer driver). The bulk of the file (i.e., shapes
and lines) does not appear, only text and bitmaps are printed.
