Indeed, the lib is unable to get the size of the printer settings structure, aka
devmode. This explains the size = -1 in ex.err and the crash you get. And I
strongly suspect the print service being stopped to explain this failure - driver
doesn't respond.
I'll have to stop everything related with printing on such failures so as to
proceed smoothly even though no printer will be available (for configuration at
least). Hopefully I can get this done in time for 70.3.
