I just made some trials with 2.9.4 and 2.9.5 (and cups):
Nothing works either using the wxWidgets internal printing layer 
(dcpsg.cpp) or using wxWidgets built with --with-gtkprint option
(--with-gnomeprint does not compile on my Linux install):

--with-gtkprint gives not usable results (missing lines, incorrect arcs 
and much more...)

Internal printing layer prints graphic with  a strange offset: 70% 
outside the paper area ( new bug which does not exists in 2.8.12) ...

This is the best way.
