PCL5 compatible printer driver implemented

[Michael Pfeiffer]

Hi

I have found a real jewel in our cvs repository, libprint, implemented by
Y.Takagi!
It makes writing printer drivers for raster printers very easy.
I have today implemented a PCL5 compatible printer driver and
commited to the repository. Currently it does not support color printing.

Enjoy whoever has a PCL5 compatible printer (like HP DeskJets) and want to
test this driver.

I don't own a PCL5 compatible printer.
Maybe the best way to test this driver is to release it as an OpenBeOS
alpha/beta component, like
you did for print=5Fserver=3F
Or did you receive zero feedback on the print=5Fserver beta *program*=3F

Whatever, nice addition to the Print Kit!

No I have received important bug reports.
