Hi I am running sid. I have a system which prints using cups to a remote cups printer.
I am trying to get printing from emacs working. In the past it "just worked". Now it seems not to. Emacs tries to print using "lpr", which doesnt seem to work. I changed the variable in my .emacs ***************** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .emacs (custom-set-variables ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. '(mouse-wheel-mode t nil (mwheel)) '(ps-lpr-command "kprinter")) (custom-set-faces ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. ) (set-frame-height (selected-frame) 130) (set-frame-width (selected-frame) 120) ****************** And now it gives me the annoying kprinter dialog. However if I try this in .emacs '(ps-lpr-command "kprinter --nodialog")) then it fails. It seems to be trying to find the file "kprinter --nodialog". emacs doesnt realize that --nodialog is a command line switch to kprinter.... what is the correct emacs-lisp syntax? I could just make an alias to kprinter --nodialog, but what is the correct emacs-lisp syntax for this. Or else tell me how to do this some other way. What to do about getting lpr working right with emacs again... Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
