[R-SIG-Mac] printing from terminal

This is using
   R version 2.9.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-01-12 r47571)
but it also happens under a somewhat recent version of R-2.8.1 (from  
svn)

I have compiled myself under OS 10.5 X (see below for compilation  
command), which is probably the cause of the following.

When I open a fresh R in the Terminal and do a simple
   > plot(1:10)
the "new" R quartz window pops up. When I then select the window using  
the mouse and subsequently choose "print" from the menu bar, I get the  
following error in Terminal:

2009-01-18 13:26:34.575 R[46025:613] Error loading /Library/Printers/ 
Dell/PDEs/DellSecurePrint.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DellSecurePrint:   
dlopen(/Library/Printers/Dell/PDEs/DellSecurePrint.plugin/Contents/ 
MacOS/DellSecurePrint, 265): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Library/Printers/Dell/PDEs/DellSecurePrint.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ 
DellSecurePrint: mach-o, but wrong architecture
2009-01-18 13:26:34.578 R[46025:613] Error loading /Library/Printers/ 
Dell/PDEs/DellJobAccount.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DellJobAccount:

MacOS/DellJobAccount, 265): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Library/Printers/Dell/PDEs/DellJobAccount.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ 
DellJobAccount: mach-o, but wrong architecture

after this, the standard OS 10.5 print dialog opens up and the print  
job is able to be completed.

Based on the error message, I guess it has something to do with me  
only compiling for x86_64. The printing does work, so this is not a  
big problem, but I thought I should report it.
