I have this set in my 'init.org' - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- printing with gtklp #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq lpr-command "gtklp") (setq ps-lpr-command "gtklp") #+end_src [2016-01-13 Wed 11:11] http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/9363/how-to-specify-a-printer --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- But when I print a letter it comes out with a 'raw' look, and a not very nice typeface. But if I use 'prettyprint' the typeface looks smaller and more attractive - but - it also prints a header showing the filename and the date and time of printing, which is not what I want. How then can I have a 'prettyprint' typeface but without the file header of buffer and print date and time please?
