Hi,

I found out that configuring the shown 'lp' printer works. Thoug it was a bit 
tricky to find out that the Printer Model 'Postscript level 2' was not the 
only one to chose from but that the list was scrolled to the total bottom so 
it was the only visible entry. 
So I was able to compile but there is still a bug somewhere so I have to look 
it over - maybe not today.

Best regards,

Karsten
