There were two problems I think. The one you mention above and the problem that the printer is not reset when accessed the way Emacs does it. However we did not agree on the second point. I do not think there is time to change the second failure now, but it would be good if we could come to some consensus here. Please try to convince me (with some relevant links for example)!
