Printing
The
print-buffer command on Alt-F9 prints the current buffer. If a
region is highlighted on the screen, the command prints just that
region. The print-region command on Shift-F9 always prints
just the current region, whether or not it's highlighted.
Under Windows, the printing commands display the familiar Windows
print dialog. From this dialog, you can select a different printer,
select particular pages to print, and so forth. The
print-setup command lets you select a different printer without
printing anything, or set the margins. Invoke the printing
commands with a numeric prefix argument to skip the print dialog and
just print with default settings. The print-buffer-no-prompt
command also skips the print dialog and uses default settings.
You can change the font Epsilon for Windows uses for printing with the
set-printer-font command. See Fonts for more
information.
By default, Epsilon for Windows will print in color on color
printers, and in black & white on non-color printers. You can set
the print-in-color variable to 0, if you don't want
Epsilon to ever print in color, or to 2 if you want Epsilon to
attempt to use colors even if the printer doesn't appear to be a
color printer. (Some printers will substitute shades of grey.) The
default value, 1, produces color printing only on color printers.
If you have a color printer, and want to use a different color scheme
when printing than you do for screen display, set the variable
print-color-scheme to the name of the color scheme Epsilon
should use for printing.
Epsilon for Windows prints a heading at the top of each page. You can
set the print-heading variable (which see) to control what it
includes. By default it prints the file name, page number, and
current date.
You can set the variable print-line-numbers nonzero if you want
Epsilon to include line numbers, or set print-doublespaced if
you want Epsilon for Windows to skip alternate lines. (To display
line numbers on the screen, not when printing, see the
draw-line-numbers variable.)
In non-Windows environments, the printing commands prompt for the
device name of a printer. They then write the text to that device
name. If you want Epsilon to run a program that will print the file,
you can do that too. See the description of the
print-destination variable in the online help. (For Unix, see
print-destination-unix, which by default runs the lpr
program to print a file.) If you want Epsilon for Windows to run a
program in order to print a file, bypassing the Windows print dialog,
you can set want-gui-printing to zero.
By default, Epsilon converts tabs to spaces in a copy of the buffer
before printing it. Set the variable print-tabs to one if you
want Epsilon to print the file just as it is, including the tab
characters.
