I'm running Emacs GNU 22.0.50.1 on OS X. I'm wondering how I can tell
Emacs to print to a particular printer.

I have to following in .emacs:

(ps-print-header t) '

(ps-print-header-frame nil)

(ps-printer-name "HP_1022")

But this doesn't not automatically send my Emacs print jobs to the
HP-1022 printer. Instead, I have to 'tell' Emacs which printer to use
by printing something from another application.

Any insight into this would be appreciated.
