emacs 22.2.1 postscript print

[Jonathan Valks]

I am trying to print a buffer using the 'Postscript Print To Buffer'
command on the File menu. However, this produces the following error
message:

Symbol's function definition is void: ps-header-footer-string.

Is there something I need to install to allow postscript printing?

I am using GNU Emacs version 22.2.1 on Ubuntu 9.10.

With regards,

While the cursor is in this function name – could you type C-h f  
<RET>? What is the documentation? Can you follow the hyper-link to the  
ps-print.el file?

Could you try to launch GNU Emacs with -Q (means: no init file at all)  
or -q (means: no user init file, only system init file) and see what  
happens? It might be easier to not use any of the ps-print-* functions  
but substitute them with the corresponding ps-spool-* function (to  
also save some paper and toner in case it works to print). The *spool*  
functions will "print" to a temporary *PostScript* buffer (which you  
could save, or print, or view with Ghostscript...).

Maybe it helps to insert into the customisations section of your init  
file either (what I have)

	 '(ps-print-footer t)

or the contrary

	 '(ps-print-footer nil)


GNU Emacs 23.2 is out. At least in other Unices.
