Hardcopy Top Postscript Variables
These commands convert buffer contents to Postscript, either printing it or leaving it in another Emacs buffer.
M-x ps-print-buffer | Print hardcopy of the current buffer in Postscript form. |
M-x ps-print-region | Print hardcopy of the current region in Postscript form. |
M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces | Print hardcopy of the current buffer in Postscript form, showing the faces used in the text by means of Postscript features. |
M-x ps-print-region-with-faces | Print hardcopy of the current region in Postscript form, showing the faces used in the text. |
M-x ps-spool-buffer | Generate Postscript for the current buffer text. |
M-x ps-spool-region | Generate Postscript for the current region. |

M-x ps-spool-region-with-faces | Generate Postscript for the current region, showing the faces used. |
The Postscript commands, ps-print-buffer
and
ps-print-region
, print buffer contents in Postscript form. One
command prints the entire buffer; the other, just the region. The
corresponding `-with-faces
' commands,
ps-print-buffer-with-faces
and ps-print-region-with-faces
,
use Postscript features to show the faces (fonts and colors) in the text
properties of the text being printed.
If you are using a color display, you can print a buffer of program
code with color highlighting by turning on Font-Lock mode in that
buffer, and using ps-print-buffer-with-faces
.
The commands whose names have `spool
' instead of `print
'
generate the Postscript output in an Emacs buffer instead of sending
it to the printer.
The following section describes variables for customizing these commands.
