I've had a peek at the article printing code, and it seems quite suboptimal. It redoes some of the highlighting, but not other bits, so I've now rewritten it to print the article buffer as is instead of semi-re-highlighting it. Anyway, the problem seems to be a more general Emacs problem: If you have an Emacs that you're running with a dark background, then the fonts you're displaying are usually quite light. Using `ps-spool-buffer-with-faces' will then print stuff on white paper that's totally illegible. I don't really see any way to fix this is a general way -- what text colour is too light to print, in general? So I think if you use a dark background, you really have to set `ps-print-color-p' to nil. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
