with 21.4.3, on w98, I'm able to print. Four comments: ================ First of all: (dotimes (i 100) (insert " Thankyou") (sit-for 0.1)) ================ It works great. Is there any reason to have a non functional print-buffer hanging around? basically, shouldn't you smash print-buffer on windows: (when (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (fset 'print-buffer 'generic-print-buffer)) ================ When you print a file, you probably want to ignore the background color (or make it an option to ignore). Otherwise, a lot of ink gets used printing. I advised generic-print-buffer to temporarily set the background color to white for printing. (defadvice generic-print-buffer (around set-background first activate) (if (not (boundp 'default-background)) (setq default-background (color-name (face-background 'default)))) (if (not (equal default-background "white")) (set-face-background 'default "white")) (sit-for 0) ad-do-it (if (not (equal default-background "white")) (set-face-background 'default default-background))) ================ When I print, I get the following warning. Isn't the bold version of "Courier New:Regular:10::Western" just "Courier New:Bold:10::Western"? ;;(1) (font/warning) XEMACS.EXE: couldn't deduce a bold version of the font ;;"Courier New:Regular:10::Western". ;; ;;Please specify X resources to make the bold face ;;visually distinguishable from the default face. ;;For example, you could add one of the following to $HOME/Emacs: ;; ;;Emacs.bold.attributeFont: -dt-*-medium-i-* ;;or ;;Emacs.bold.attributeForeground: hotpink ================ -jeff
