I've also gone through some of the changes and ran the tests on the full set on Mac, I put in the comments I had so far. It generally looks good but once the dust settles on the ones needing changes I'll do a proper test of the functionality on Mac as well to check that actual printing works fine too. I have some things in mind to check as I've dealt with enough printing problems the past year to last me a life time ;)
