As you are writing to the developer mailing list I assume you are a 
developer yourself. In this case you should know that's not a good idea 
to only provide an interpretation of an error message, but provide the 
exact error message itself.

You should also explain the exact steps to reproduce your problem. There 
is more than one printing function, so we have to guess which one you tried.

The function tmpnam() is used to get the output path/filename for 
printing on windows. The function description is a bit hard to 
understand, but I think it will use %TMP%, so there seems something 
wrong with your environment.

No. We won't ship two different versions with the same 0.10.12 version 
number. That's simply a very bad idea.
