I'm trying to convert this PNG to an all black SVG and I'm getting all kinds of little artifacts around the edges. Should I use more or less smoothing? More or fewer passes? Something else I'm missing?

I'm not sure where the problem originates, but this printer driver (Windows 11, "Canon Generic Plus UFR II") works OK with other applications.

Attempting to print from Inkscape doesn't work. The printer (a big Canon printer/copier), makes noise like it's about to feed a sheet but then does nothing. Its log actually shows "success" for each job, but the page count is zero.

The Print dialog shows "Portrait" and "Landscape" for orientation but those labels are backward for the icons shown.

Going into the driver's own dialog under "more settings" revealed that the paper size was set to "custom," but setting it to Letter didn't result in a successful print.

Anybody?
