Although I mainly encounter the problem with gnus, I believe it is an emacs, rather than qnus, question so I am asking it here. The function in question is ps-print-buffer-with faces, which works just as expected and produces a hard copy that resembles the screen. The trouble is that white on black, which I like on the screen, is quite bad on paper (and uses a lot of ink). I know about ps-print-without-faces, but sometimes the color is useful. What I would like is to have the print look the way my screen would look were I using a light background. Any suggestions? thanks, allan
