I have the software in the sig below. and a HP Laserjet 1200 on a network conection. I am sure that the printer is set up OK as prints from AbiWord and Gnumeric come out just as they should. The problem is printing from Emacs. I can print the files fine if I select the "Postscript Print Buffer" option. It come out perfectly. However, I want the basic print option to work, and when I select the less fancy "Print Buffer" option, all I get is a single sheet with the dtg, title and page number on the header line and nothing else! What am I likley to have done wrong? How do I get a basic print through a printer that is clearly working? -- Keith. [Debian (stable) & GNU Emacs 21.2.1 - Gnus v5.9.0]
