Yeah. I just went through a bunch of stuff with printing.
(1) Create a share for the printer from your PC. Start
Menu->Settings->Printers. Right click on your printer, select properties.
Click on Sharing, and create a name.
(2) M-x customize-variable printer-name RET.
(3) Select name, and type in your PC name and the share name you just
created. E.g. \\MYPC\my-share.
(4) Save to future sessions.
(5) M-x customize-variable ps-printer-name RET.
(6) Select name, and type in your PC name and the share name you just
created. E.g. \\MYPC\my-share.
(7) Save to future sessions.
That should be all you need with your configuration. One caveat that
stumped me for several days, was that the version of ps-print.el which
shipped with NTEmacs 21.2.1, was version 6.x. The version I was using with
20.7 was 4.x. The 6.x version produced postscript which would not print on
my HP LaserJet 4 Plus. (The firmware/application in the printer didn't
support the newer postscript). After using netmon and tracing LPR. I saw
that that wasn't the problem. So I found in the emacs/etc/ directory, the
file refcard.ps, which was the older postscript. That worked fine. So, I
replaced the new (broken, in my case) ps-print.el with the old one, byte
compiled it and it worked fine.
That's all I have for my configuration for printing and it works fine.
NTEmacs 21.2.1 with ps-print.el,
(defconst ps-print-version "4.1.4"
"ps-print.el, v 4.1.4 <99/02/19 vinicius>
