Any suggestions? > > (setq ps-print-color-p nil) No, I don't think this is what the OP wants. Allan, is it possible ps-print prints white on black because of some of your customizations? What happens if you start Emacs with the command "emacs -q --no-site-file", then set up the default faces as they are set in your normal session (i.e. white on black), and then try ps-print-buffer-with-faces? If that doesn't help, try customizing the variable ps-use-face-background, and maybe also ps-default-fg and ps-default-bg.
