Hi. I'm willing to pay money to have this matter resolved. $25? $50? ----------------------------------------------------- Samuel R.

I was told to e-mail this message to you. I also include a previous e-mail that I sent to Gunnar at the bottom of this message. srk —------------------------ Having just installed another printer on my W2K system, I'll add one more piece of information. In the Add Printer setting, I specify that I'm adding a local printer, without plug-and-play. Then I create a new port. In the process, I specify the IP address of the printer. srk ----------------------------------------------------- Samuel R.

I have posted to comp.xemacs, but I'm not getting any help. My problem seems serious enough: inability to print postscript output to an HP printer (4100TN). I have appended my original message to the group, and some of my clarifications. I have also appended the logs that were created in the installation. It seems to me that printing is core functionality for a program. I hope you can help me. srk Subject: printing on Windows 2000 on networked printer Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 17:29:21 -0500 From: Samuel Kaufman <skaufman(a)umich.edu&gt; Organization: The University of Michigan Newsgroups: comp.emacs.xemacs I've searched for answers, but none on this list so far seems to fix the problem. If I File/Print a text file, it prints with a date and filename header (on the top left and top right, respectively) and a page footer, as vanilla text (Courier-like font). When I hit the Print button, it says "Searching for program: No such file or directory," (The comma is the program's.) After I inserted (setq ps-lpr-command "lpr") into the custom.el file, if I type ps-print-buffer, there is feedback that it's been printed, but no printing occurs. When I remove the (setq ps-lpr-command "lpr") command and I type ps-print-buffer, I'm told "Searching for program: No such file or directory," I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me fix this. (It took me a day or two last time for me to get GNU emacs to print postscript output under Windows 95 (pretty print, I think), and now that I'm on Win 2000, I've already spent hours, and gotten (almost) nowhere.) Subject: p.s. on printing from W2K Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 19:27:39 -0500 From: Samuel Kaufman <skaufman(a)umich.edu&gt; Organization: The University of Michigan Newsgroups: comp.emacs.xemacs I've checked my printing setup for my default printer (which works for Word & Excel). The default printer definition connects to the network printer port using the IP address of the printer. srk Subject: Re: printing on Windows 2000 on networked printer Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2002 09:41:46 +0200 From: Eli Zaretskii <eliz(a)is.elta.co.il&gt; Newsgroups: comp.emacs.xemacs References: 1 Samuel Kaufman wrote: > > "Searching for program: No such file or directory," > > I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me fix this.

What version of Emacs or XEmacs are you using? From the above, it sounds like you are using GNU Emacs, but then why did you post to comp.emacs.xemacs? If you are indeed using GNU Emacs, there's a section in the manual about setting up printing on DOS and Windows systems.

I used to use GNU Emacs, but now I'm using XEmacs, version 21.4. The only manual I've seen seems to be several years old. I've just checked the XEmacs manual that I found at www.xemacs.org; it turns out that I looked at it yesterday (and also the gnu website for ntemacs) in search of a fix. BTW, I realize that devotees of emacs tend also to scoff at Windows OS's. I much prefer Unix myself. But that isn't a choice for me at work. What I can do is promise that if this printing problem is resolved, I will be able to help others at work resolve it. ----------------------------------------------------- Samuel R.
