I'm looking forward to the release date... :)

Done.  -> STR #880

When I've understood the errorlog correctly the output is auto-typed as 
type "text/plain" indeed.

I noticed that the line endings of the ps sourcecode of the "print to 
file" output are completely DOS-style whereas the line endings of the 
PJL commands are unix style, so from a DOS view they appear to be all on 
one line. Could this be part of the problem?
