help - print from emacs on win2000

[Peter McGuire]

I run emacs 20.7.1 on windows 200 pro. I'm on a small two machine network with no routing (using NetBEUI). My machine is the client, with the printer shared off of the server machine. The printer is an HPdeskjet 940c. 
When trying to print from emacs, the message: Spooling with options (page headers are not supported...) appears. Emacs then freezes and can only be slayed from the task manager.

Can anyone help?

Add this to your .emacs :

	(setq lpr-command "print")
	(setq printer-name "//SERVER/PRINTER")

- replace SERVER with the server name and PRINTER with the printer's 
share name. To print just choose "Print Buffer". Postscript doesn't work 
too well - at least not on my printer (HP LaserJet 1100).
