SDFE-3747

**SDFESUP-195:** Fixed a bug that would lock up SPC if printing with SMM and Meteor took too long. Instead of locking up SMM may fail to change active media, requiring an Apply after the print run is finished.

SDFE-3752

**SDFESUP-194:** Fixed error in drop level mixing.

SDFE-3762

Print Duplex jobs with Harlequin GPU RIP.

SDFE-3767
