I also tried marking all articles first, but that > didn't help either. I typed `|', I meant `|' :-) What does C-h c | tell you when typed in a Gnus summary buffer? For me, it says it runs the command gnus-summary-pipe-output. If it is different for you, that might be a problem. I use that command and a shell script `gnusprint' all the time for printing articles from Gnus, so I'm *pretty* sure `|' works for me. Just for fun, could you `emacs -q -no-site-file' then start Gnus then see whether `|' works. The `-q' means don't load ~/.emacs, the `-no-site-file' means don't load site-start.el. Omitting one of the two arguments loads the respective file, this way you can narrow down where the problem might be. (For starting Gnus in `emacs -q -no-site-file' you might have to do some setup by hand, such as setting the nntp server and stuff. Try to keep that to a minimum, though.) kai -- OOP: object oriented programming; OOPS: object oriented mistakes
