Dear All,
because of a broken computer I had to change to a new one, which runs
under Vista. Under XP I had no problem to print from Emacs 21.3 and gsprint.
Now, if I chose postscript print buffer, I see "Printing...done", but
nothing happens.
Just to prevent more search and trials, may I ask, if it is in
principle possible to print from Emacs 21.3 under Vista.
Thanks,
Heinz

I'm sure it's possible, probably even with postscript printing. If the
instructions here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PrintingFromEmacs
don't help, then follow link "PrintFromBrowser." That method is easier
for me. That puts a new item under Menu>Files, "Quick Print (Using Browser)"
Also you should probably update to Emacs 22.3. It can be installed right
on top of 21.3. It will overlay it with newer files.

Thank you Ed,
In the meantime I followed the instructions, you mentioned and it
works. It was my fault not to try them immediately, because I could
not understand, why my earlier settings, which worked well under XP,
did not the equally under Vista.
Long time ago, I considered to update to 22.3. I would like to
install it in parallel to 21.3, but I could not find out, how to
manage it because both would read the same .emacs configuration file
and as far as I remember they would need to be different. In case
there is a possibility to make Emacs 22.3 read a configuration file
named different or stored in a different directory, I would be happy to know.
In any case, thank you for your response.

Just split your .emacs and do something like
(cond
( (equal emacs-version "21.3.1")
(setq custom-file "~/.emacs-cust-21.3.el"))
( t
(setq custom-file "~/.emacs-cust-cvs.el")
))
(when (file-exists-p custom-file)
(load custom-file)))

Thank you Lennart,
as soon as I find time, I will try it.
