Hi,
I have now 3 variables in my init.el concerning printing.
a
setq lpr-switches
b
M-x ps-print-buffer
c
printing with paps
1.
Is it right that it takes the first one, if I print in using the menu bar.?
2.
How to change the first variable in that way,
that it prints only 1 column on a A4 page?
Now it prints 2 columns.
3.
at the moment I can't use the 3 variable printing through paps.
4.
the first and second variable are printing 2 columns.
How can I change that?
thanks
Gottfried

;;M-x ps-print-buffer or M-x ps-print-region to print to a PostScript
printer 2 pages on an A4 paper
;; 2 column landscape size 7 prints column 0-78, lines 1 to 70
;;Now you can use ‘M-x ps-print-buffer’, ‘M-x
ps-print-buffer-with-faces’, ‘M-x ps-print-region’, and ‘M-x
ps-print-region-with-faces’.
;;Use the C-u prefix to save the PostScript code into a file instead of
printing it.
