Check the librsvg module on the gnome cvs.

When it's possible...
As soon as the SVG image uses opacity, you need to create a raster
image and send that to the printer instead since PS doesn't support
it. I think GnomePrint tries to be smart and actually rasterize only
the parts of the page with opacity when generating postscript.
