When I use Emacs on Ms Windows®, I'm printing with printfile. You'll need to use customize you Emacs. M-x customize-group lpr I forgot the exact values to put in. But I guess you should put the path for printfile instead of _lpr-command_. http://www.lerup.com/printfile/ Good luck and tell me your results. -- Julien ``Eole'' Avarre julien@avarre.com
