Andy,

According to documentation I've found on the xemacs web site it
doesn't look like I should have to do anything special to get printing
to work using the File->Print... menu item. I get a print dialogue
box, but when I click 'Print' button I get the following message in
the minibuffer,

Operation not allowed or error during operation: "Print area is ouside
of the printer's hardware printable area", "local_startup_bat -
XEmacs"


I think there are still some issues running on European versions of windows.
What printer are you using?

Printer is Canon BJ-200, connected to LPT1.
It might be worth noting that I get the same error when I select 'Print to file' in the print dialogue box. So I wouldn't have thought it was specific to my printer.

So the print feature is supposed to work on Win XP Pro ? If yes then maybe this is related to my XP rev level (I've got most the latest patches) or my environment (possibly Locale related ?).

The following is System summary (according to Win XP System Info tool),
