print from emacs

Hi emacs-users

I develop c++ using emacs, but I cannot set up to print the source code 
from emacs using 2 logical pages per physical page and with 98 chars per 
line and using special fonts for the code. I also do not know how to 
specify which printer to use. My system uses the cupsys system for printing.

Why can't you delegate this to GNU Enscript? GNU Emacs is not meant  
to work as a pretty-printer ...

Hello, you can use an external program that you launch from emacs,
i use gtklp, here is my config:(install first gtklp)

,----
| (setq lpr-command "gtklp")
| (setq-default ps-print-header nil)
| (set-variable 'lpr-switches '("-Pepson"))
| (global-set-key (kbd "<f12> p b") 'ps-print-buffer)
| (global-set-key (kbd "<f12> p r") 'ps-print-region)
`----
(i use an epson printer, you have to change that may be)

But it does it quite well.

Shell-command, shell-command-on-region. You could also prepare a  
(few) shell script(s) of which each one could be a print or lpr  
command for GNU Emacs. Could be it works to set lpr-command as a file- 
local variable, and the same might work also for lpr-switches to  
select a particular printer or setup ...

Sorry that I didn't post this to the list earlier:

You can also pipe the output to a2ps using shell-command-on-region.
