That means, no need to print into a file anymore? Great news, Benoit!

On the other hand, after having worked with the workaround for such a 
long time, I found some advantages in working with print files, e. g. I 
now can store every form or letter I printed for the students so I can 
look them up later if anything is unclear or no copy available ("what 
the hack did I print for her then...")
