Can anybody suggest how I set this up? I'd like pretty-printed pages of C++ from emacs on SuSE 10.1.

I used to use pretty-print on xemacs. Postscript print on emacs produces PostScript errors at the moment; so I'm using Kate for printing.

Just in case I provoke any zealotry, I use vi mode in emacs. I've switched from xemacs because emacs now looks better and works with AucTeX. And sometimes I use vim when I jsut want to do something quickly.

I generally use Xemacs, but I simply brought up GNU emacs 21.3-224 (out of the box SuSE 10.1 x86_64), selected a short C++ program, then selected File/Postcript Print Buffer (B&W), walked over to the printer and it was waiting for me. Could it be that the GNU daemon is punishing you for using vi mode :-) I also successfully printer from SuSE 10.0.

Mine seems to be 21.3.1 (P4) straight out of the box and doesn't work in colour or b/w even if I switch out of vi mode. Xemacs LaTeX mode doesn't work, which is the main reason for going to plain emacs, though emacs now looks nicer than xemacs. -- JDL

I would suggest that you delete the emacs packages that are installed on your system and reinstalled them from the media again just to confirm that they are all the same revision and that they install correctly.

I tried all this and reinstalled ghostscript also. I still can't trace the problem. But it seems only to affect non-postscript printers where gs is used as an intermediate program. I got the code printed using a bw laser printer. For now, I'll probably use Kate for printing or else use bw. I occasionally want printing on colour and Kate is fine for that. -- JDL
