Thank you. I will look at them as soon as I find a few moments, if you send 
them to me (the patch was absent from the mail to which I answer).

These are indeed the latest sources as far as I am able to tell. Of course the 
code is licenced free and anyone might have taken it and create a new 
version, but what is recommended to use with kdeprint will (almost surely) 
always be posted on printing.kde.org.

Must leave in place an explicit JI B format then. And must pay attention to 
backward compat. So, perhaps better than changing formats, leave the old as 
it was and add ISO B as a new choice.
