Maybe I have missed something about the use of this new feature. And also
other attempts to print have failed. So I am posing two questions in this
post (hopefully related). They may well be due to my setup.
1. When I attempt to write a pdf file of a buffer of TODO items as
collected by C-c a t, the following error is reported:
comment-normalize-vars: Command attempted to use minibuffer while in
minibuffer
Formatting... 0%
color-values: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("blue" :weight bold)
There is little use in my theorizing about this.
2. I have tried two other ways to print agenda output, using scripts posted
elsewhere. One of them was a script from an org-mode tutorial, and the
other, perhaps, from the FAQ. Both times, I get colored text that cannot
print. It is pale yellow.
Perhaps these are related?
I'm sorry if I overlooked or ignored other messages about this. I looked.
Alan

I cannot reproduce this. C-x C-w somefile.pdf RET in my agenda works.

Very likel this is because you are using a script that
runs Emacs in batch-mode, in which case the font colors
are poorly defined. You can try to bind org-agenda-with-colors
to nil during the agenda command, as one of the options.

I don't think so.

I am running Emacs on Windows, and I have a similar problem with org-mode
6.24b.
My *Messages* gives me this
Preparing diary...done
Loading cl-macs...done
Loading cl-seq...done
Formatting... 0%
Loading ps-mule...done
Loading composite...done
Collecting face information...
Formatting... 39%
ps-e-color-values: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("blue" :weight bold)
Hope anyone can help. An pdf from agenda view would give a good kick in
the butt
to they guys in the office who frowns upon planning done elsewhere than MS
Projects
and Outlook :P

What is ps-e-color-values? I do not have this function.

It is a defalias for 'color-value used in ps-print.el
Somehow, while searching for the values, I somehow made the error go away,
Ill get back to it if I am able to reproduce.
