Can someone make printing work, please?

I haven't ever gotten printing to work in the years I've used Gnus.

I'm using a relatively recent CVS version.  It's complaining about not
being able to load "ps-mule".  I have ps-print installed, but ps-mule
isn't, because I didn't build XEmacs with MULE support.

Isn't there some other way to print without requiring MULE?  This is
really frustrating.

What is the exact error message?  M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET and
send the backtrace.  Gnus doesn't contain the string "ps-mule" so my
guess would be that this isn't a Gnus problem.

Let a2ps do all the work - I do `|' in the Summary buffer to run the
shell script "print":

,----[ ~/print ]
| a2ps -=mail -Psuperduper -s tumble -Mletter
`----

This would probably be a bug in ps-print. Maybe check if it is gone
with a newer version (http://www.cpqd.com.br/~vinicius/emacs/).

The nice thing is that ps-print has a "Gnus mode" where it prints the
Article buffer even when you call it from the Summary buffer (which
helps people like myself that have printed dozens of meaningless
Summary buffers before).

HTH,
