Yes there may be a problem with the printer but the point
was and still is :
- 3.3.21 does not work as per emails.
- the below setup is with 3.3.20 and also as noted only works with
status enabled(ie status@) causes the below jobs to fail.
- with the original config(please see earlier emails) the printer
works for all jobs but without status.
- for other printer protocols(ie vines) the printer works without
a glitch or delays.
