thank you for your explanation. The [[:print:]] notation didn't quite work either, but following your suggestion I tried \\S- and it worked.

Ah, the [:foo:] character classes were introduced in Emacs 22.

(defun vb-first-printable ()
  (interactive)
  (beginning-of-line)
  ( if (re-search-forward "\\S-" (line-end-position) 't)
      (backward-char)
    )
)

(eq t 't) => t

Boy, nothing is what it seems with emacs :-)
