I would strongly recommend the package printing.el from the author of ps-print
which offers you a great interface (keyboard and mouse!) for all the ps-print
stuff and much more.  IMHO the combination of printing.el and ps-print.el
really rocks.  And IMHO i do not understand why printing.el is not in the
distribution of Emacs 21.X?!

Get it from http://www.cpqd.com.br/~vinicius/emacs/.

This package offer you a function pr-ps-fast-fire which does pretty what you
want!

If you have problems with configuring printing.el i can send you my
configuration...

Ciao,
Klaus
