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
