[sylpheed:30627] printing does not work (2.3.0)

Hi,

1st thing:
‎tried the new printing stuff in 2.3.0 but when I click "Print" in the
new printing dialog, nothing happens on the printers side. I can say for
sure that "lpr" works w/o problems on printing stuff from STDIN.
When I put placing "cat > /tmp/log" into the command box instead of
"lpr", a errorbox saying "Broken pipe" appears. So nothing was sent via
STDIN to cat. Why no STDIN?

2nd thing:
I then tried printing to a File (PostScript) and the resulted PS file
(named output.pdf - strange extension for a PS file or?) looks mangled.
The mail-header is displayed crunched to 2 all overwriting themselve in
the document. Same happens when I print as File, PDF.

When I send the PS output.pdf to my printer the LEDs are starting to
blink, but finally no printing happens so I guess something with the PS
is wrong here. ps2ascii, and ps2pdf are not working on this PS file.

output.pdf: PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0
