The variable `printer' above. > What is a "Windows printer"? I forgot what these printers are called. It seems like they are called "GDI printers" or "winprinters". Mine a hp laserjet 1020. (BTW there seems to exist GNU/Linux drivers for those printers today, seehttp://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/. They translate from PostScript.) >> To reproduce this do for example >> >> emacs -Q >> M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces > > Well, I can't reproduce this problem in my GNU/Linux (Debian). > > Please, do the following steps: Thanks, but this is a problem with how Emacs access the printer. As I understand it there is no problem with printing.el. I am sorry for beeing unclear.
