I entered my scratch buffer, pasted a few lines, and printed with
M-X print-buffer
I erased the contents of the buffer. Then I pasted in a few more lines
and printed in the same way.
At the printer I found two items:
1. The single page containing the first item I had printed.
2. An inch-thick printout containing the second item I had
printed, followed by 74 pages of fairly random stuff. It's
in my office if you want to see it.
I checked, and the end-of-buffer does, in fact, follow the pasted lines by
just a few lines. Ie, the scratch buffer itself is under 1 page long.
My PRINTER environment variable is set to 'nil' (the printer nil). My
.emacs file is dull - it sets autowrap on, and not much else.
