;;Put the following into your .emacs:
;(load "a2ps-print")
;(global-set-key 'f22 'a2ps-buffer)			;f22 is Print Screen
;(global-set-key '(shift f22) 'a2ps-region-1)		;print selected text
;(add-menu-button '("File") ["a2ps-print" a2ps-buffer "--"]) ;on file menu
		;;Someday I'll get menu to show PrtScr instead of f22...

;you can pass up to 4 command line switches to a2ps.
;Here's a recommended sample for your .emacs:
;(setq a2ps-switches `("-C" "--line-numbers=1"))

;`("-C" "--line-numbers=1")

ked.")
