["Andrés Ramírez" <sunshavi@fastmail.fm>]

More info:

on emacs -Q (M-x apropos ps-postscript-code-directory RETURN)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ps-postscript-code-directory’s value is
"/usr/share/emacs/25.1.50/etc/

Documentation:
Directory where it’s located the PostScript prologue file used by ps-print.
By default, this directory is the same as in the variable ‘data-directory’.

You can customize this variable.

This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
version 20 of Emacs.

I have searched the directory ".emacs.d" for the string
"ps-postscript-code-directory" with no result.
