I've been running Emacs 21.3.1 under WinXP, and I can print to a network
printer without difficulty using print-buffer. I have the following in
my .emacs file:
(setq printer-name "//Patroklos/HP LaserJet 6L")
I've just installed Emacs 23.2.1 (a newer version than above) under
Win7, and with the same line in my .emacs file, attempts to use
print-buffer fail, and the following appears in my messages buffer:
Spooling with options (page headers are not supported)...
direct-print-region-helper: Opening output file: permission denied,
//Patroklos/HP LaserJet 6L
Printing from other applications to this printer on the Win7 machine
works fine. Running Emacs as Administrator does not help.
Any idea what I need to do to enable printing from this version of Emacs
on this OS?
Thanks,
Scott

I'm probably mistaken but shouldn't that be \\Patroklos\...?

According to
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Windows-Printing.html,

Also, if you go the backslash route, you have to quote the backslashes,
yielding something like
\\\\Patroklos\\...
I tried it :-)
Any other suggestions?
Scott

Ive not used a network printer with emacs23 and windows
But this is elisp setup when I used it with 22 (printer-name is
probably redundant)
Basically it prints through ghostscript which needs to be available of
course
(require 'printing)
(setq printer-name "//path/to/networkPrinter")
(setq ps-printer-name t)
(setenv "GS_LIB" "C:/Program Files/gs/gs8.63/lib")
(setq ps-lpr-command "C:/Program Files/gs/gs8.63/bin/gswin32c.exe")
(setq ps-lpr-switches '( "-dNOPAUSE" "-dBATCH" "-sDEVICE=mswinpr2"))
