bug#2250: 23.0.90; Ask the user before printing (sending to printer) |

I propose to have a new variable, confirm-print, set to t by
default, which if non-nil displays a confirmation message to the
user just before a file/region/buffer is going to be printed to
a local or remote printer.
I don't mind if we have this variable
but I am against making it t by default.
Printing something by mistake is not very common
and it is no disaster. It makes no sense to inconvenience
people that want to print, just to prevent a minor inconvenience.
- I mistyped a key shortcut in some mode and issued another one
which just... printed without asking
Please give the precise details. Perhaps we should change
that mode's key bindings or commands.
