Printing Win98SE

From: rburgess(a)gmu.edu Date: 06 Oct 2002 15:41:20 -0700 --text follows this line-- This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I have had trouble (rather, I cannot at all) printing from Xemacs. I am using v. 21.4.6 "Common Lisp (Windows)" using the 'P'rint option from underneath the 'F'ile menu. The error that I get is this: //------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Signaling: (invalid-operation "Print area is ouside of the printer's hardware printable area" "template1_cxx - XEmacs") make-frame((name "template1_cxx - XEmacs" menubar-visible-p nil has-modeline-p nil default-toolbar-visible-p nil default-gutter-visible-p nil minibuffer none modeline-shadow-thickness 0 vertical-scrollbar-visible-p nil horizontal-scrollbar-visible-p nil) #<msprinter-device on "HP DeskJet 694C" 0x1d01>) generic-print-region(1 1871 nil #<msprinter-device on "HP DeskJet 694C" 0x1d01> (name "HP DeskJet 694C" selected-page-button all copies 1)) #<compiled-function (&optional buffer display-print-dialog) "...(91)" [print-region really-print-region props end start buffer region-active-p region-beginning point-min region-end point-max valid-specifier-tag-p msprinter generic-print-region Printer-get-device err (byte-code "ÂÃÄÅ Æ «ƒÇªÈ&‡" ... 8) (...) plist-get selected-page-button selection d display-print-dialog] 7 428730 (list nil (not current-prefix-arg))>(nil t) call-interactively(generic-print-buffer) //------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- I have found a similar entry in the NT-Emacs archive detailing some of the errors, but I am afraid that the discussion is a bit beyond my understanding of Lisp. This is the URL: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-nt/200105/msg00084.html I installed the pre-compiled binary for windows OS's. I have tried limiting column numbers to less than 70 and inserting ^L characters to force page-breaks, however none of this seems to work. Is there an 'end of file' control character that I can perhaps use? Hope this helps. Roger E.
