Printing on Windows

Printing on Windows

[Artist]

Hi,

 I have trouble printing from emacs on Windows
 
 Details:

 Operating System: Windows NT 4.0
 Printer Connection: Printer Directly Connected to Network
 Printer Name: HP LaserJet 8000 DN PS
 Printer Driver: HP Lasetjet 8000 Series PS
 Drivername: PSCRIPT.DLL
 Config file:PSCRPTUI.DLL
 Default Datatype: RAW
 Printer  Port: SAM
 Port Description:HP Jet Direct Port

 Now, I am really confused about so many options and vocabulary
available about printing.
 
  What I want is the ability to print like Notepad
  and it that works, then ability to print like microsoft word, (
Bold, colored etc)
 
 Please let me know what type of settings I should do to printing from
emacs.
 Assuming I have no command for printing so far.

 I would really like to see FAQ on printing itself and printing from
emacs.



Thanks,
Artist

Check out http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html.
There's a whole section on printing.

Here is what I have done. Seems to work fine if you have a postscript
printer.

(setq ps-printer-name "//PrintServer/PrinterName")

Where PrintServer could of course be your own machine (I think you'll
have to share it out though).
