This is a lesson for all of us. We pride ourselves on the "always working" SVN, but in this case, the printing was known not to work, and was not even looked into, for many months. Perhaps everyone was just thinking, "we'll fix it for the release for sure, for now I want to play with something less boring" - and now the release is tomorrow and we're forced to make ugly rushed workarounds. Let's not allow such things happen again.
I think this is one area where the longer release cycles have hurt us recently -- it's been too easy to become complacent about things like that without frequent releases to keep us honest.
