Hi,

Like them user who posted the msg "Printing from Emacs" at some point last
week, I'm having trouble setting up GNU Emacs 20.7.1 to print.

I downloaded a zipped package of "w32-print" .el files from the website
ref'd under "Tech Specs" to help with invoking printing.

What I want to print: nothing complicated. I just want to be able to print
plain-text, straight from Emacs.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
