Why are you trying this again? I am honestly lost. I don't want to produce a postscript file. That is not my intention. This what I had before: At some point I was able to choose "postscript print buffer" and it would format the page and "print it" as if I am doing: mp -l -s "\!*" <\!* | lp "buffer name" from the command prompt in solaris. Something changed in the environment and I can't do that anymore. So I am trying to duplicate the same printing format in emacs "two pages in an oval bold line kind of format per page". > > > > > > > > I tried this: > > > (setq ps-lpr-command "mp") > > > (setq ps-lpr-switches '("-l" " -s" " | lp")) > > > > > > which also did not work. > > > > And again you're not using the customisation interface of GNU Emacs (under the Options menu). I presume you are a human being, so you can be a lot more flexible than a compiled piece of software. I am lost again. What kind of compilation you are talking about? I just want to include some lines of lisp in my .emacs file so I can port it to any machine and have the same printing format and functionality. I don't prefer using the customization window for anything. But again, maybe I am missing the actual use of this interface you are mentioning. Will read more about it.
