Aaaaah - ok :-) (I'll try this afternoon)

The point is, in the local help, when look at "Draw", the old "printer" 
syntax is still described. If online, "printer" is omitted there.

Maybe a keyword "printer" in the help would be good to have something to 
search for. And a hint that you have to use gb.qt.ext to get it supported.
