Well, I thought it from this point of view too and I agree, but I was actually hoping if this work-around (leading pgnus working with 20.3 (, 20.4 and 20.5 too? i.e. those before the new display engine?)) could be embedded to default printing method (something that there isn't currently) determination, i.e. with faces or not. That is, I thought it would be reasonable to assume that one might want to print without faces even if printing with faces worked too (from the point of view of Gnus, ps-print and Emacs, not neccessarily printer's or whatever the target of the output is). Even if it is a work-around, it would be small hit to Gnus' side (compared to benefits) if there is some more or less fuzzy logic to determine whether to print with faces or not by default anyway. -- Hannu
