What were you trying to do?
	Print an emacs buffer with M-x print-buffer

What's wrong:
	Pagination is fvcked. 66 lines print on 2 pages,
one with 57 lines and one with 9 lines. This gives
2 pages for every real page.


What should have happened:
	M-x print-buffer shouldn't have weird interactions with 'pr'.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	M-x print-postscript-buffer works ok as a workaround except
	if you're using font-lock mode, in which case your printouts
	look nasty because of the coloring.

	A user observed this last evening and I didn't
have time to investigate it until now.
