Basically, I found the command to print from the command line. There's a lot of dust in that part of my brain now, but I think it was something like nprint textfile.txt If I found that to work, then I used that command in an emacs variable called "print-command". Something in emacs and/or Novell might have changed since those dinos were walking around, so it might work differently now. But that's the general idea. HIW, ken -- AMD crashes?
