concerning my original request for help with postscript printing Emacs buffers, i have figured out that the problem apparently sits with 21.3. 20.7 works with the settings specified in your online manual (browse with info to 'emacs>postscript variables'). the 21.3 documentation does not indicate any changes in the postscript-printing setup. there obviously are some changes. if you can help me with postscript printing in 21.3, i would appreciate it -- i like 21.3 better than 20.7 but i need to be able to print. thanks, gary gary r buell usgs 3039 amwiler rd, suite 130 peachtree business center atlanta, georgia 30360-2824 tel - 7709039100; fax - 7709039199 ----- Forwarded by Gary R Buell/WRD/USGS/DOI on 06/13/2006 11:46 AM ----- Gary R Buell/WRD/USGS/DO I To help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org 06/05/2006 03:50 cc PM Gary R Buell/WRD/USGS/DOI@USGS Subject hello, i am running the pre-compiled version of Emacs 21.3 on a Windows XP, SP2 platform. i was previously running 20.7 and had specified printer settings in a .emacs file. the settings were for a "local" network printer. i am now trying to do the same thing in 21.3 but specifying a printer share. i cannot get this setup to work. is there a different syntax for specifying a shared printer? i've tried both the printer's IP and the server's IP and can't get either to work. i do know that my .emacs file is being read. attached is the version that worked with 20.7 and a direct network printer. thanks for your help, gary (See attached file: .emacs) gary r buell usgs 3039 amwiler rd, suite 130 peachtree business center atlanta, georgia 30360-2824 tel - 7709039100; fax - 7709039199
