Thanks, unfortunately that gets me no further. It is like you are speaking another language that I don't understand and for which there is no dictionary. What is a "switch" in this context? What value is placed in this field to be passed to "pr"? There is no explanation of this in the manual, as far as I can find. One cannot proceed independently if the information needed to do so is obscure or unavailable. :-( > There's a chapter in the Emacs manual that explains how to use > Customize; perhaps you should read it. I did, it didn't answer my question. But thank you for your help. I will continue to print my documents out of another application. It's inconvenient but it works.
