I've tried researching the manual and other resources but still can't get anything to print. My set-up: Windows Vista GNU emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002) GhostScript 8.71 First, I tried printing through GhostScript. My emacs file code is: (setq ps-lpr-command "c:\Program Files\gs\gs8.71\bin\gswin32c.exe") (setq ps-lpr-switches '("-q" "-dNOPAUSE" "-dBATCH" "-sDEVICE=mswinpr2")) (setq ps-printer-name t) Next, I try to print a simple text file from my buffer with "M-x ps-print-buffer". Nothing prints. I see emacs formatting and then gives me a message "Printing...done" but nothing prints. Online resources that I've read say that a pop-up window should appear giving my printer choices but the pop-up doesn't appear. Second, I tried to simply print the buffer using >File > Print Buffer. Emacs gives me this message "spooling with options (page headers are not supported)...done". I don't have any other code in my emacs file related to printing. My local printer is attached to my computer via a wireless router. I'm lost at this point to don't know what else to do. I appreciate any help. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problems-setting-up-printing-for-first-time-%28Windows%29-tp31730282p31730282.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
