Print Buffer Text Only

Print Buffer Text Only

[Bill]

How does one go about printing a buffer in such a way that no extra
lines appear with the buffer text?  Lines such as the name of the
file, the date it was printed, so forth ...

In short, printing the buffer text itself and nothing else.

M-x customize-group RET printing RET

or:

(custom-set-variables
 '(ps-header-lines 0)
 '(ps-left-header nil)
 '(ps-paper-type (quote a4) t)
 '(ps-print-header nil)
 '(ps-print-header-frame nil)
 '(ps-printer-name "lp")
 '(ps-right-header nil)
 '(ps-show-n-of-n nil))

Then:

M-x ps-print-buffer RET

Thanks Pascal:

Sorry I should have been more explicit. 

That works well for a postscript printer, but I need to use 'print-buffer'
not 'ps-print-buffer'.

Any suggestions?

Basically, the same: C-h f print-buffer RET
and customize the variable mentionned.

The header you get may be inserted by the lpr program, so you may want
to choose the right options passed to lpr.
