Re: printing from command line does not work

Hello!

Yes, unfotunately print-to-file got out of sync while moving printing
to module.
To enable it properly, ::setup_file or some similar method should
be added to SPModulePrint, that sets printing module up to send
output to file.
Modules have also to be set up in main_console. It may require minor
tweaking to work proiperly.

I'll try to look into it before next release.

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
