How to configure emacs for printing

How to configure emacs for printing

[Christian Bockelmann]

Hi,

I want to configure the emacs print option. I found already a lot in the net 
over this configuration but if I print with the new setting the layout isn't 
correct. The text begins at the middel of the paper (with post script) and 
with normal print the text was cut on the right site. Is there an option to 
set print at A4-paper or can I get this information from other programs ?
I hope to hear from you soon.

Greats

For ps-print you can set the variable ps-print-page. You can customize
this variable with

,----[ customize ]
| M-x customize-group: ps-print-page
`----

,----[ elisp ]
| (setq-default ps-paper-type 'a4)
`----
