commenting the 1.1.21rc2 release notes:

Are these drivers available to the public already or is this just an 
anouncement for developers?

The postscript output generated by the Adobe PS driver for the laserjet 
4100 still makes the printer print countless pages of postscript 
sourcecode starting with @PJL... commands. The pstops binary executed by 
cupsd is definitely from 1.1.21rc2. This shouldn't happen anymore or 
have I misunderstood the release notes?
Thanks in advance!
