AFAIAA, it works (except to PostScript printers).

See revisions 4.11 and 4.12, here:

Printing/Modules/PDModules/VersionNum
Presumably, the appropriate binary module is in
all-bin-2007-11-15.zip
Downloaded and de-archived the bin. The Printing section has !Printers
which stupidly I substituted (luckily I took a backup) for my old copy
(Printer 1.72) thinking it would contain the modifications required to
get NetSurf to print correctly. This is only a skeleton app containing
directories...........
dp, lj, Modules, Palettes, PDumpers, ps and
Remote.
There is a Boot file but am reluctant to run this as I unaware of its
effect on my system - nice and reliable at the moment.
None of this is meaningful. How do I preceed from here please
John.
