The Iyonix won't print direct from Netsurf due to discrepancies in
Printers 1.72

Printers can be upgraded via the ROOL downloads to Printers 1.73 and
this provides printing direct from Netsurf.

Printers is up to version 1.74 on the ROOL site but this just adds PCL
printer support.

Wrong :) It also contains PDriver{DP,PS} 4.55, which doesn't trash the
processor stack when printing top-bit-set characters.

I haven't got my records to hand, but I thought those went into the 1.73 zip
archive. It's possible I never rebuilt !Printers until I have the PCL stuff
so at that point all the associated modules went in there.

Hm. That could well be right, actually. Though it would have been a re-release of 1.73 if it is. The original (containing PDriver* 4.54) was most definitely broken :)

I think Printers should have its version number bumped as a matter of course if it's released with updated component modules. The Printers version is what the user sees so would avoid such confusion as this :) Is there any way to have the RO buildsystem deal with this automagically?
