print command postscript print buffer

print command postscript print buffer

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hello,

I want to print several files with the 'postscript print buffer
(B+W)'-command at once. I know that it is possible to mark the files
under 'dired' and print these, but that is no postscript-printing. Is
there a different way to do that or does anybody know the command for
the 'bash'?

Greetings!
Fabian

I use this:  mark 'em in dired first, then run the command

(defun dired-ps-print-files ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((files-to-print (dired-get-marked-files)))
    (while (setq file (car files-to-print))
      (setq files-to-print (cdr files-to-print))
      (find-file file)
      (ps-print-buffer-with-faces)
      (kill-buffer nil))))

Works nice. Thanks!
