PagePrint listing from QL World

QL Heaven has always been a fan of SNG's listings in QL World. At QL Heaven 2 programs have been used to print to a HP 840 via the serial port from a Q60 (no serial ports on the PCs here for QPC2). These have been, Ghostscript, and PagePrint (by SNG from QL World). One problem for QL Heaven has been the old style user interfaces they have. So here is PagePrint with a GD2 user interface and menu extension integrated to select files:


Here is the code :
