Dear Geany-team,

I have **_added functionality_** to `print_external`. More specific, I have included/aligned most of the replacements that are present in the build dialog box:

- replace `%d` with the absolute path - replace `%e` with the filename (excluding extension) - replace `%f` with the filename (including extension) - replace `%p` with the absolute path/filename (including extension)

This would permit to use external print commands like:

`cat "%p" | prt1403 -e -y -u PYNCKELS -j %e -o "%p".pdf -`

which would create an output as shown in the joined file.

During development, I have noticed a file `config~`. I have **_added this name_** to `.gitignore`

I would be much obliged if you could accept this PR.
