How To Print To Printer GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-03-26 on RELEASE

[ChristopherL]

How do I setup Emacs to be able to print to a printer. Currently, I
have to copy everything to notepad and print from there.

Thank you,
Chris

By reading the documentation. (And setting an environment variable  
PRINTER.)

GNU Emacs can either create a text output or a PostScript output (you  
can check this output by using ps-spool-* instead of the ps-print-*  
commands, later you can use ps-despool-* to print). Both are fed to  
the user's default printer.

I am really new to setting variables and controlling the setup and
it's vague to me. Can you post a detailed step-by-step description of
how to print.

Again thanks,
Chris

M-x customize-variable
printer-name

Did not work when I set the "name" and "saved it for future settings"

Did you try the advice in the node "Windows Printing" of the Emacs
manual (that is part of the distribution)?

Eli: How about a link from "Printing" to "Windows Printing" in the manual?

That said there is a very simple way to get basic printing in colours
on all platforms that has a web browser, see

I do not understand. What is the problem with using it? It is just an
ordinary elisp library.

When I enter Mx browse-url-of-file, it just opens a second emacs
session and points to the same file.

Note: If I print the file it does not go to the printer, but I get a
message saying "Spooling with options (page headers are not
supported)...done

What doesn't your company make available? the Emacs manual?  If so,
the manual is part of the Emacs installation, or you could find it
elsewhere on the Internet.

Could you please explain what has browse-url-of-file to do with your
printing problem and the suggestion I gave you?

The manual Eli is referring to is virtual, not paper:

 From within Emacs type Control-h r
m
printing

and then again from the top
m
Windows Printing

If this functionality is missing then someone went to the trouble to 
remove it, which probably means that they don't want anyone there to 
learn Emacs. In any case unless you are a postscript expert you'll 
either have to install ghostscript or use Lennart's suggestion, to wit

Add this line to your .emacs:
(require 'hfyview)

Add the files hfyview.el and htmlfontify.el to /emacs/lisp directory or 
another directory in load-path.
Easymenu.el should already be in /emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp directory.

Oh wow, I've had nxhtml installed for some time, but never used
(require 'hfyview) before. Thanks Lennart!

I would like to know though how those beautiful fonts are configured
in the example given by emacswiki at:
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/nXhtml/doc/htmlfontify-example.html

For instance, the text "Program and Value Search" in the  *Customize
EmacsW32* window on the above page, how is that set? What is that
*Occur* buffer from, when I do "occur" it doesn't look so pretty.

I really like that I can scroll in the individual windows on the HTML
page too. 

The only thing that I don't like having to do is that I'd like to hide
the text that firefox adds to a page when you print it at the top
"File://localhost/var/floders/VJ/VJmNPjS1...". Obviously it's nice to
see that text when printing a web page, but not so nice for printing
an Emacs buffer. Perhaps though, a firefox add-on could take care of
this automatically.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Where can I get hfyview.el and htmlfontify.el. They are not on my C
drive.

Setting up printing on windows is quite a feat
I hardly understand all the details but what Ive figured out on my
setup is:

At the least I need these two things
(setq printer-name "//network/path/to/printer")
(setq ps-printer-name t)

However this prints without the typical printer dialog that all other
windows applications give.
If I add
(setq ps-lpr-command "C:/Program Files/gs/gs8.63/bin/
gswin32c.exe")  ;; obviously use the correct path for you here which
means also setup ghostscript.
(setq ps-lpr-switches '( "-dNOPAUSE" "-dBATCH" "-sDEVICE=mswinpr2"))
then the dialog also appears.

I find this mysterious because these variables seem to be part of the
printing package (without (require 'printing) no help is available for
them) but yet they change the behavior of printing

That's how Emacs behaves on all platforms, not only on Windows.

The reason it does not show the Print dialog is that (1) by the above
setup you already told it what printer you want to print to, so
there's no need to ask you to select a printer; and (2) Emacs does not
(yet) support the other printing options you are used to selecting
through the Print dialog -- instead, you need to set Emacs variables.

The dialog that appears is popped up by gswin32c.exe, not by Emacs.

They are not part of the `printing' package, they are part of the
`ps-print' package.

I thought they were in a this+that bundle somewhere on Lennart's site 
but I don't find that now. You can get them by dowloadning nxhtml from:

http://ourcomments.org/cgi-bin/emacsw32-dl-latest.pl (1.7 M)

and then extract them from

nxhtml/util

I still am unable to print!

I downloaded the two files to the right place (.emacs found it),
changed .emacs to refer to hfyview as above, and within Emacs
customized variable printer-name to both default and what I got from
(Start, Printer and Faxes, Properties, General Tab).

When you call the function

'M-x hfyview-buffer RET'

then the contents of the buffer are sent to your web browser. And with

'M-x hfyview-region RET'

you can send the contents of the marked region. After that you can
actually print in your browser.

This printing method has nothing to do with the Emacs' own printing
functions. BTW: It's fully integrated in Lennart Borgman's
EmacsW32-Emacs.

Printing through web browser is independent of standard Emacs postscript 
printing, I think. All it needs is a printer installed via Start> 
Settings>Printer. Under Files in the Emacs menu do you have an entry 
"Quick Printing (Using Web Browser)" This is what you click on to print 
with the above described method. Is your printer plugged in, turned on, 
and connected to your windows box with parallel or usb cable? :-)

When I open a file, I temporarily get another window before my window
displays the requested file.
I put hfyview.el and htmlfontify.el in C:\Program Files
\emacs-22.2\emacs-22.2\lisp\emacs-lisp. Both files are read/writeable.

In the temporary window, among other things it says:

An error has occurred while loading 'c:/Documents and Settings/...

File error: Cannot open load file, hfyview

It's best to put the files into a directory that is named in the  
variable load-path. The best place is the "site-lisp" directory,  
because it's not served by the GNU Emacs distribution, just used/ 
meant for local additions.

I have these in \emacs\lisp but they can go in any subdirectory in 
load-path, most appropriately in \emacs\site-lisp if you want to keep 
...\lisp pristine.

Maybe your installation is hosed. runemacs.exe is at least one 
subdirectory lower than it has to be since there is a stutter on 
.../emacs-22.2/emacs-22.2...
Did you run addpm.exe? Is Emacs listed as a removable program in Control 
Panel Add Remove Programs? Does Control-h v load-path include the subdir 
where you put Lennart's files? If you have to reinstall Emacs I would 
recommend you get the 22.3 binararies and put them in C:/emacs (that is, 
unzip it directly into the root C:\ and afterwards change the name of 
emacs-22.3 to emacs. If you want to do anything from command window 
(used to be dos shell) then it's better not to have everything deeply 
buried in the file hierarchy. Also, it's better for windows not to know 
any more about Emacs than it needs to. Then when you are ready to 
upgrade to 23.1 you can temporarily change "emacs" to whatever the top 
level unzip target is and install the new Emacs on top of the old one.

Putting both files in C:\Program Files\emacs-22.2\emacs-22.2\site-lisp
didn't work.

I woun't be back at work till Monday, so I won't try out more
responses till then.

Thank you,

I'm not sure that's such a great way to get to it.

I'd prefer teaching "C-h i", which gives them whole list
of manuals, so they know it's all there, and then it's easy
enough to "m" the third(?) one, the emacs-manual.

So each time they do it, they get reminded of what other doc
they have at their fingertips.

We have Help->More Manuals menu item for that.
