It you are on w32 chances are you may give up quite a lot of times since it is IMO more complicated to get a useful Emacs there. That is one reason I wrote the installation package for EmacsW32. I still think Emacs on w32 should be distributed as an installation package for those who wants a precompiled Emacs with the needed extra binaries (grep etc).

Here is a fresh, just some minutes old, example of the difficulties from the emacs on windows list. I have seen many like this.

"I am trying to print from Emacs on windows XP. I am using Emacs 22.1.1. I am trying to use postscript print through ghostscript. The ghostscript version is 8.61. My .emacs is:

;; Setup Ghostscript 8.61 as the postscript printer

(setenv "GS_LIB" "e:\\Tools\\gs\\gs8.61;e:\\Tools\\gs\\fonts")

(setq ps-lpr-command "e:/Tools/gs/gs8.61/bin/gswin32c")

(setq ps-lpr-switches '("-q" "-dNOPAUSE" "-dBATCH" "-sDEVICE=mswinpr2"))

(setq ps-printer-name t)



When I attempt to print there is no error message and no print – nothing. Ghostscript does seem to work – at least through ghostview. It is probably a simple erro, but I don’t see it.

thanx"
