Hi, Michel.  Sorry about the confusion.  I wrote that more with the future
in mind, since 2.2.19 isn't available yet.  I also mentioned the alternative
of updating just printer.c, and I'll post a "printer.c update kit" on the
hpoj webpage soon.  In the meantime, I have attached the printer.c patch
from the latest 2.2.19 prepatch.  It has the necessary fixes plus some other
changes I haven't tested personally, but it should work OK, since most of it
constitutes an updated backport of functionality that has been floating
around in 2.4 for a while.
