Wesley,

Are you saying that you are receiving the SVG output back for the print task and it is rendered by the browser as blank?

Did you try creatign a picture marker symbol and include a full path URL to the SVG image? Or are you creating your SVG images using CSS having set the styling and surfacetype properties?

Hi Wesley, SimpleMarkerSymbol SVG images should print.

To keep things easy I recommend using a full URL to your SVG image (not a relative path). Relative paths actually will draw on the map, but will not print. Also since printing is what you are trying to accomplish, make sure that the URL to your SVG is publicly accessible. This is important because your print service will need to fetch the image.
