Solution: Stick to the standard libraries, or put the libraries in with the
others in Clib directory.

Solution: probably overwriting a stack or two: once the printer manager is
loaded and you've set up the appropriate printer you can remove the application
from the icon bar (i.e. close it down); the printerDM module is all that is
required for printing under RO3 (assuming you have RO3).
[This also saves around 200k + of memory.]
Might pay to upgrade Impression to 2.17 (I think that's the latest; RO3
compatible)
If you still have trouble, then they're real bugs.
