My lpr-command is the name of simple .bat fil= e I use which simply accepts the temp file name that EMACS passes it and te= lls NotePad.exe to print it. Well, under conditions I cannot fathom, the name that EMACS passes has some= weird escape character at its beginning. This happens about 5% of the tim= es I try to print. Once it does happen, it happens consistently. I end u= p having to print manually: running NotePad, yanking from EMACS, pasting in= to NotePad and printing from the NotePad menu. The next day, the problem = is gone. Kind of annoying. Any ideas?
