XEmacs printing problem


I don't normally print from XEmacs but this morning I thought I'd give it a try.

Beforehand, though, I thought I'd check the papersize to make sure it hadn't -- like so many other programs -- defaulted to A4. So... I clicked on "File->Page Setup" and the status line at the bottom of XEmacs gives an error message: "Invalid device type, msprinter". OK... thinking that perhaps that's a default so I go into "Options->Printing" and change the lpr command line options to include "-P my_printer_name". Unfortunately, I'm getting the same error message. Even after bouncing XEmacs.

Looking through the documentation under /usr/share/doc/packages/xemacs I find little to nothing about setting the preferred printer name. I did see something about "msprinter" being part of some experimental Windows-related printing option.

Any ideas?

TIA
