Hi Deron,
Thanks for getting back to me! Here is my .emacs file:
(setq TeX-default-mode 'latex-mode)
(setq text-mode-hook '(lambda ()
(auto-fill-mode 1)(abbrev-mode 1)
))
(define-key esc-map "#" 'goto-line)
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
(setq auto-save-interval 1000)
(setq ask-about-buffer-names t)
(defun rec0() (interactive)(recenter 0))
(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.
'(case-fold-search t)
'(current-language-environment "Latin-1")
'(default-input-method "latin-1-prefix"))
(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.
)
The values of C-H v lpr-command is as follows:
lpr-command's value is "lpr"
Documentation:
*Name of program for printing a file.
On MS-DOS and MS-Windows systems, if the value is an empty string then
Emacs will write directly to the printer port named by `printer-name'.
The programs `print' and `nprint' (the standard print programs on
Windows NT and Novell Netware respectively) are handled specially, using
`printer-name' as the destination for output; any other program is
treated like `lpr' except that an explicit filename is given as the last
argument.
Defined in `loaddefs.el'.
The values of C-H v lpr-switches is as follows:
lpr-switches's value is nil
Documentation:
*List of strings to pass as extra options for the printer program.
It is recommended to set `printer-name' instead of including an explicit
switch on this list.
See `lpr-command'.
Defined in `loaddefs.el'.
Printing works as advertised for everything else. Using a2ps on a file looked
okay, except for the fact that two of my lines were reported to be wrapped at
the default fontsize. At the fontsize 5, it worked perfect.
Thanks and best wishes!
