PostScript printing does not work

[Alexandru Harsanyi]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

        1/ Start emacs with "emacs -Q"

        2/ type "Hello World!" in the scratch buffer (any text will
        do)

        3/ Try to print the buffer with "File/Postscript Print Buffer
        (B+W) (any of the postscript print commands will do)

Instead of printing the text, an error message will be shown:

        Symbol's value as variable is void: ps-lf-cache

I believe the problem is related to this change (from lisp/ChangeLog):

2007-03-01  Vinicius Jose Latorre  <address@hidden>

        * ps-print.el: Replace (defvar VAR nil) by (defvar VAR).
        (ps-setup): Print which Emacsen is running ps-print package.

If I change all the (defvar VAR) back to (defvar VAR nil), recompile
and load ps-print.el, postscript printing works again.


Kind Regards,
Alex.
