Please don't say the user! The exact command Emacs should give to print the file is:- pr -F filename | lpr Check what this does at the shell and check what lpr-buffer does in Emacs. If it doesn't produce the right result its still probably a print setup problem. You may have set the paper size to letter in your print setup where it should be A4.
