Good catch. I /think/ that this change is not intended and is a bug since
some places in the code still expect the "src:" prefix to be there somehow.

Since printers have been reworked in 4.1, I'd think this is a bug introduced
in 4.1 and still not fixed in recently released 4.2. I'd appreciate a
confirmation by upstream though.

@Pietro: Can you please enlighten us on this issue?
