There isn't one. Both the "Print Buffer" and "Pretty-Print"
buffer
items just send the buffer contents to the printer without a dialog.
My understanding is:
o The Windows variant (when running without DISPLAY env variable) of the
cygwin version should use Windows facilities - which it DOES after
the patch.
o The Unix (X11) variant should use Unix facilities like lpr and
friends.
Even without any dialog at all? If you don't have an lpr program,
you'll get a message to that effect, but I imagine that if you do have
an lpr but it's not set up properly, the attempt to print will just
disappear into a black hole.
use a cygwin compiled version of LPRngTool. It's not an
official cygwin package yet,
That would probably explain why we don't provide it.
So you're saying, there is not even a File->Page Setup menu
item under Unix ?
That's right.
If so there shouldn't be one on the Unix (X11) variant of cygwin
(even
if the version is compiled with native Windows support), or even better it
should be customizable.
I can probably do the former, but we'll need to find somebody who
actually has a Windows system to add customization.
The toolbar Print button is not the problem. It's bound to
toolbar-print and works like a charm with lpr.
I gather from "works like a charm" that your estimate is that that
would be acceptable to Cygwin users who use the X interface rather
than the MS Windows interface? That sounds reasonable to me (but I
can't confirm from personal experience).
Unless you say "no", or somebody beats me to it, I'll assume that's
that sensible thing to do and get you a patch that checks for the type
of the frame when putting up menubar (you're right, I did confuse
menubar with toolbar, but C-h k does work on menu items, too).
For the Windows variant: The Print button (menu) should use the
Windows
default Printer and not lpr.
That was surely just an oversight.
The X11 version should be user customizable. Either use the Windows
facilities or lpr and friends.
Well, we'll need to find somebody to connect Cygwin XEmacs/X11 to the
Windows facilities, but it sounds good to me. Hm, maybe it will "just
work"? I'll see what I can come up with.
