Thank you. I do still have your original mail in my to-look-at list, it has not been forgotten completely. I wonder whether it is really necessary to add two new user variables to get this functionality. We already have `printer-name', perhaps setting it to nil should select the system's default printer, as it does on other systems. In general we want to avoid introducing new variables, especially OS specific ones.
