Of course. An interesting point to verify, anyway.
That the printer works at all...

Yes, that is one of the points I want to test. It could not be
changed from the web interface, as far as I could se. I'll ask
the guy on-site to check

Now, when we have had this problems before (the printer prints
in PCL mode instead of switching to PS), we got loads of Potscript
printouts (the source code it self). Now we get nothing.
