Welcome to the world of templates. A template in Inkscape is a regular SVG document such as you create every time launch it. What actually happens when you start Inkscape is that it looks for a file called default.svg in your local Inkscape directory and loads it. Replace the state of Maine in the template with your state. 8.) Replace the text with your text. To change any colors of any of the elements, just click them and choose the color from the Inkscape pallet. 9.) You can print right from Inkscape, but if you have issues do File, Export and then export it to your desktop and print from that.
