Other apps do. Can't find .emacs file, but found .emacs.d directory. Hmm? Made sure ps-printer-name and printer-name were set to one of "LPT1", "USB", and "USB001" with the printer connected as indicated. Did this with M-x set-variable. Looked with C-h v <var name> and noted descriptions. Also made sure lpr-command and ps-lpr-command were the empty string, i.e. "" . Looked in emacs manual (C-h i mEmacs) for instructions. Hence above approach. Looked online via google. Found indication that variable pairs printer-name/ps-printer-name and lpr-command/ps-lpr-command need to be the same thing. Tried that. Here are relevant facts: 21.2 of GNU Emacs taken from archive emacs-21.2-bin-i386.tar.gz Emacs shows version: GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2002-03-19 on buffy Windows XP Samsung ML-1430 Laser Printer Tried USB and Parallel Connections/Ports The USB port seems to be a virtual port according to the driver properties. The printer works with other apps. Any insights or note of similar problem appreciated, --Doug Morris, dougbmorris@yahoo.com
