LIstener 4074 - Printer's Devilry by Qid

Listener 4073: Quartet by MynoT

Listener 4069: Conversion by Samuel

I very much enjoyed last years penny dropping moment with playtime, and likewise with this weeks listener, it was very neat how it all came together. No ambiguities although one answer I couldn't find...
