print as opposed to ps-print

print as opposed to ps-print

[Francesco Scaglioni]

Hi,

For some reason ps-print works fine but when I try plain print I get
an message of:

spooling with options -H

and pesto -- nothing happens.

I know how to de-spool a ps-print spool but cannot find where in
customisation to prevent the spooling of the plain print command or (
even better ) prevent it from spooling at all.

Any help much appreciated.

TIA

Francesco

Use the source (lpr.el).  That suggests you have lpr-headers-switches set,
and it specifies "-H".

Try setting lpr-headers-switches to nil, or using `M-x lpr' instead of

`M-x print'.

"Spooling" in this situation is just a reference to the behavior of the

Unix lpr command.  Make sure lpr-command is set correctly -- it should
probably be the same as ps-lpr-command.

THe problem seems to have been the -H, it should have been -h (man lpr
solved that, don't know where the -H came from though).

Only problem remaining now is how to increase font size for M-x print
buffer - on which matter any suggestions most welcome.

If you know how to do it from the command line (using the lpr-command command),
then just add the appropriate options to lpr-switches.

Hi,

-h should suppress the printign of file data as headers.  -H is a typo
 I think.

Hi,

-h should suppress the printing of headers, -H ( I think ) is a typo.
