(custom-set-variables
   ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
   ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
   ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
   ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
;; '(fringe-indicators (quote right) nil (fringe))
; '(fringe-mode (quote (3 . 7)) nil (fringe))   ; thickness of  
fringes left . right
  '(indicate-buffer-boundaries (quote right))    ; where is text  
indicated
  '(indicate-empty-lines t)                      ; with small  
horizontal lines
)

An example for colour use in the fringe:

(custom-set-faces
   ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
   ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
   ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
   ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
  '(fringe ((((class color) (background light)) (:background  
"khaki" :foreground "steel blue"))))
)

You can also look-up the variable names and follow their hyperlinks  
to the customisation interface.

Only spool the PS print-out (M-x ps-spool-buffer-with-faces). It will  
create a buffer *PostScript*. It will contain words like "%%Page:  
<number> <number>" and "EndPage" that describe one page of output.  
Text output in PostScript is kept between "(" and ")" and followed by  
"S" and only in case of PS print output of GNU Emacs.
