Yes, the customization is saved. ps-number-of-columns is set to 1 in the
customization buffer, and also I can see it in the file. It still does not work.

I just downloaded Carbon Emacs 22.3.1. I checked the customizations that I
*believe* are involved. I set ps-number-of-pages to 1, and landscape mode on. I
confirmed that these settings are saved. However, I still cannot get one-column
landscape that way.
Could some other setting be interfering?
