new in emacs

hi all,

At last i decided to test emasc and see whether it meets my requirments. but
there is little problem. my OS is win2k, and i cant configure the printing
through emacs! i tried to play with the .emacs file, but i probably did it
wrong... please some can guide me. i have a network printer (connected to a
hole in the wall :-) with known address (of course). i the .emasc file i
wrote (setq printer-name "\\\\BIU\\pr-mehr-2200-2"). by the way, the file is
placed under c:/usr/home, but my home directory (which i've no idea if emacs
knows that as well) is c:/documents and settings/yaishb.

any ideas?,

thanks,

barak.

Try using the customize facility.

M-x customize-option<ret>
printer-name<ret>

In the "Name:" box enter:

//BIU/pr-mehr-2200-2

and press "Save for future sessions".

If you haven't set the environment variable "HOME" to anything (under
Control Panel => System => Advanced => Environment Variables) then I
believe Emacs treats your home directory as C:\. You can easily find
out: enter C-x d then, at the prompt, press ~ and then <return>. Emacs
will open a directory listing of what it considers to be your home
directory, with the name at the top of the buffer.

Hope this helps.

PS If there's any way for you to disable the sending of html it would
probably be appreciated.

RE: new in emacs

[barak yaish]

still doesn't help. when i'm trying to print a buffer, i got a message:
"spooling with options (headers not supported)...done" and nothing is
printed out.

i don't want to miss emacs for such stupid thing.

Tell us a bit more about how your printer is set up. Is it a networked
printer? This may seem obvious, but you *have* read:

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/big.html#printing

haven't you?

The fact it's Novell based may be relevant. What I've suggested should
work on a Windows network, so I'll have to leave it to someone else to
carry on from here as I don't have Novell to play with.

Good luck.

[Kevin Dziulko]

Perhaps there is info within
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html
that might help. There is a printing section there.

The EMacro project <url: http://emacro.sf.net/ > is designed to help 
Emacs newcomers. It won't magically solve your printing problems, but 
take a look at the _solutions_ & _resources_ links.

Did you try the "net use" method to capture some LPTn port to the 
printer, and then set printer-name to that port's name?

Re: new in emacs

[ken]

I got this to work some years ago but it's a little hazy now.  
Basically, I found the command to print from the command line.  There's 
a lot of dust in that part of my brain now, but I think it was something 
like

nprint textfile.txt

If I found that to work, then I used that command in an emacs variable
called "print-command".  

Something in emacs and/or Novell might have changed since those 
dinos were walking around, so it might work differently now.  But that's 
the general idea.

I had a browse round the net the other day and there seemed to be a
lot of mentions of nprint with respect to print. I'd certainly try
that, but I thought it best to leave the suggestion to someone (like
yourself) who had experience.
