Good idea! That's a really convenient workaround.

I wrote that I wanted to try whether the ps-print.el of GNU Emacs can
be made to work with XEmacs. It looks like somebody has already done
this and recent versions of the XEmacs Sumo tarballs already contain a
recent version of ps-print.el taken from GNU Emacs.

I.e. ps-print.el for XEmacs will likely work as soon as I update
XEmacs.

I'll try to do that during the next weeks and upload the new rpms to
the SuSE ftp server.
