he,

i use emacs 21.2, when i try to print with ps-print-buffer i get the
error message above. printing with lpr like print-buffer prints even
special german characters.

i searched the web an the mailing list, but didnt find anything
special. i installed 
intlfnts-1.2-508
intlfonts-bdf-1.2-508
intlfonts-ttf-1.2-508
but that didnt solve my probs.

thank you for every advice
Jörg Maier

I think you're using Latin-9, and the intlfonts distribution contains
Latin-1 fonts only.

Maybe it works if you do this:

(require 'latin1-disp)
(latin1-display-setup 'latin-9 t)

This didnt help.

Do i have to include the intlfonts specially (eg in .emacs)? do i have to use
intlfonts to ps-print special characters rather than to lpr them? why
is ps-print-buffer here not working while print-buffer does?

thanks, joerg

Ah, maybe you also need this:

(when (file-directory-p "/usr/sw/intlfonts/1.2/lib/X11/fonts/bdf/")
  (add-to-list 'bdf-directory-list
               "/usr/sw/intlfonts/1.2/lib/X11/fonts/bdf"))
