BS I thought. Fortunately the uni printers where set up in such a way that your print job got sent to a central server, the monies deducted from your account then the job was sent to the printer.

After a bit of fiddling I figured out the IP address of the printer. I would then print my document to a file. Then I would use the LPR command from CMD and just send the print job strait to the printer.

Boom!

Free printing!
Interesting ! Well, the thesis had exactly 100 pages in the end and printing it (in a local book & office supplies store) was indeed a bit costly - but hey, how often do you print a thesis anyway ?

So, the thesis was successfully printed & handed in on time but I the meantime I was a bit more busy than expected, so I have not yet been able to make some releasable modRana improvements.

However, I'm now preparing for my masters exams on the 25th of June ( wishes of good luck are welcome ) and I'm really looking forward to getting back to modRana after that.

BTW, thanks a lot for all the bugreports - I'm aware of them and they will by my main priority once I'm "back".
