In the fancy new Athena emacs with all the toolbars and such (21.1.1,
Linux), neither the Print command from the File menu nor the "printer"
toolbar button ever actually prints anything. They say they are spooling
the buffer, and I imagine I now have three or four spool files sitting
around somewhere - or maybe my output has gone to a printer somewhere in
Uzbekistan.
I haven't dared try the "Postscript Print Buffer" command yet for fear of
getting fifty pages of raw PS dump. Anyway, that's not the point. Point
is:
1) How can I make the menu Print command do something more useful? I can't
even find a way to inspect what it thinks it's doing.
and
2) If it's not something I can do locally, can it be made to do something
more useful globally?
I can't tell if this is a bug or not - for all I know people are using
that command perfectly well right now and it's just broken for me.
