??? Really?  In my Emacs 23.0.94 it produces "1.1".  "1.0" is in
itself a bug, not sure if it can be related to the original problem or
not.

I suspect some locale-related problem, whereby a decimal point is
printed as a comma.  Can you change the Windows locale (this _is_
Windows, right?) to ENU and see if that makes the problem go away?

Alternatively, look through ps-print.el, find where it produces the
lines that differ, and try debugging to find out where does the comma
come from.

Thanks.
