I just wanted to say that I just tested doing what the documentation
for printer-name says; that is to set it to the name of a shared
printer in our network.
So I set it to "//gbgfs1/gbg2b" and then called M-x lpr-buffer
It worked.
I did not test with colors (it is no color printer) but that probably
won't work in the same way, will it?
Btw, I first tested without setting printer-name (which on Windows XP
has the default value PRN) and printed, and Emacs froze. Don't know
why though.
