Re: ps-print-buffer-with-faces doesn't use selected frame's background

[Vinicius Jose Latorre]

Hi Leo,


Could you send me an image showing how it looks in Emacs?

Also, please, do the following steps:

1. switch to *scratch* buffer.

2. do:  M-: (insert (ps-setup)) RET

3. save in a file and send me back.


Thanks,


Vinicius
