Very interesting. I did not know about this and found dark laptop very nice for viewing, a definite improvement over what I had. I tried a few of the various light background themes, e.g. standard emacs and for some reason the colors printed are far from those on the screen. The gnus headers which looked reddish came out cyan and the cyan looking quoted material was barely visible. But nonetheless this has helped a lot. Dark laptop was worth the small price of admission by itself and switching to a light theme and printing without color is more than acceptable. Having the colors would be nice, but I am happy as it now stands. Time to grade my "Compiler Construction" final exams. Thank you all. allan
