printing error

[Brody, William (Buck)]

When I try to print, using ps-print-buffer-with-faces, I am getting the following error message:  "Wrong type argument: stringp, ("blue" :weight bold)"

Any ideas?

Thanks

It works for me. Does this sentence

"This command works only if you are using a window system,
so it has a way to determine color values."

in the doc-string of ps-print-buffer-with-faces make sense?

Emacs version 22.3.1
Org-mode version 6.34c

Printing works on most documents.  It works on some org documents, but it seems to depend on whether specific fonts are used in the faces.  

I created a sparse tree and  typed 

Command:
M-x ps-print-buffer-with faces

Minibuffer:
Font for some characters not found.  Continue anyway? (yes or no)

Command:
Yes

This is the back trace:

ebugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp ("blue" :weight bold))
  xw-color-values(("blue" :weight bold) nil)
  ps-e-color-values(("blue" :weight bold))
  ps-color-values(("blue" :weight bold))
  ps-color-scale(("blue" :weight bold))
  ps-plot-with-face(292 296 (:foreground "blue" :weight bold))
  ps-generate-postscript-with-faces(1 111826)
  ps-generate(#<buffer outline.org> 1 111826 ps-generate-postscript-with-faces)
  ps-spool-with-faces(1 111826 nil)
  ps-print-with-faces(1 111826 nil)
  ps-print-buffer-with-faces(nil)
  call-interactively(ps-print-buffer-with-faces)
  execute-extended-command(nil)

It could be anything: you will have to be *much* more specific. It's not even clear
that it is an org problem, since you didn't specify *what* you are trying to print.
If printing a text document does not work, then it is not an org problem (but you
want to gather up a back trace in any case - you are just going to have to send it
to the emacs list instead of the org mode list). If printing a text document works,
but printing an org document does not, then gather up a backtrace and send it to this
list.

To find out how to get a backtrace, see section 1.4 "Feedback" of the Orgmode manual.

HTH,
Nick

Hi William

looks like the Emacs 22.3 version of ps-print has this problem.
  I am using Emacs 23, and do not have this problem.

The problem seems to be related to list face definition, maybe
you are using them for org-todo-keyword-faces, for example?

If you define these special faces as faces and then add them as
faces (not lists) to that variable, maybe the problem can be  
circumvented?
