Re: Setting lines to print per page....

[gebser@ameritech.net]

Well, it was working pretty good until this morning when I tried using 
"Help > Customize > Top Level... > Wp > Lpr" to change things.  Either 
I'm dense or those menus need a little sprucing up.

If, from the commandline, I do:

lp -o cpi=12 -o prettyprint -o page-left=72 -o page-top=72 -o \
page-right=72 -o page-bottom=72 filename

(note the use of "lp" rather than "lpr"-- a CUPS thing), I get an 
absolutely beautifully printed document.  It would make Mom proud.  But 
I haven't been able to figure out how to put this into the verdammt 
Customize menu puzzle.

Hopefully some gleaming elisp maven here can provide the code for .emacs 
which would properly set the couple variables to produce what my 
commandline does.  Please?


tia,
ken
