Hi Johannes,
thanks for your tests, I made the same yesterday on 9.3. Looks fine!
Now we have to wait if the other problems are fixed, too (disabled printers, client error bad request, printorder, 'waiting printer to finisch' message). We aren't still out with 9.3 at customer side. Most
of the other problems depend on load and usage of the printers. But we'll see soon...

Thanks again, Bernd Rieke
(sorry for late reply, made some holidays between 9.2 and 9.3 :-))
