bug#328: How to print background colors in Mac OS X

[Scott Heftler]

I'm using Carbon Emacs 22.2.1 on MacBook Pro "25 running OS X 10.5.2. 
My printer is a HP Deskjet F4180.

I cannot print background colors.  The foreground color of the text
prints fine.  But the background color of the text never prints.

Here's how to reproduce:

1. Apply a face that inludes a background color, such as `isearch', to
   some text.  Select some text, do `M-o O isearch <RET>'.  Now that
   text has a background.

2. Then set `ps-use-face-background to t' by doing `M-: (setq
   ps-use-face-background t) <RET>'.

3. Now you're ready to print, via `ps-print-buffer-with-faces'.

You get the foreground text properly printed.  The background is all
white.

Any advice?

It works for me with Carbon Emacs 22.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.3, though
there is some difference in the extension of the background color at
the end of line.

The PostScript file generated with `C-u M-x
ps-print-buffer-with-faces RET' is attached.

I’m using emacs 22.2.1.

Whether I’m running emacs in Terminal, or the Carbon Emacs, I cannot
print background colors.

The foreground color of the text prints fine.  But the background
color of the text never prints.  I tried (setq ps-use-face-background
t) but it didn’t work.

Any advice?
