If so, you want to use "Postscript > Print", not the ordinary print. (Find that in the File menu.) If it is a PostScript printer, is it NECESSARY to use postscript print when running emacs under a version of the msw OS? I have 22.0.50 mostly working with msw2000 but nothing from the printer (a multi-function device whose printer component is "LPT1") Whether I set it to shared or not I see only Spooling.... done ... and then nothing. How do I go about diagnosing this problem? Thanks, Ed
