Hi,

I'd like to use enscript for printing buffer contents . How can I send
the content of the active buffer to enscript ?

The whole buffer is marked and gets passed to enscript.

How about your elder approach from August with saving the buffer's 
contents to /tmp? enscript could pick up this too ...

Yep,

At that time I used ps-print-buffer which allready 'handles' the buffer
as ps. enscript needs raw input . That's why I prefer another approach
for it . However I don't know how to specify the filetype to enscript
yet .... I think enscript uses the extension to detect file type ? Not
sure of this however ...

M-< and M-> both set the mark, so C-@ is superfluous.

Better yet, just use C-x h (mark-whole-buffer).

shell-command-on-region is on M-|
