And I'm running Gentoo Linux. I dual boot Linux and XP, and on the XP side, I was able to find recipes on the Web for the .emacs init file such that I can now print a postscript buffer via Ghostscript. I'd like to be able to do the same on the Linux side, but can find no recipes to copy. Trying to alter a Windows-style recipe so far hasn't worked. The Ghostscript manual hasn't been helpful since it's not written with Emacs in mind. And "man lpr" hasn't helped much either. If anyone has actually done this and has real lisp code I can borrow, I'd appreciate it.
