The Z part is optional, so it's possible to exist ps-print-X-Y/. Installation: ------------- 1. Add the lisp-subdirectory of your ps-print installation to your load-path. You can do this in your .emacs or site-start.el with: (add-to-list 'load-path "/your/path/to/ps-print/lisp") 2. Go to the lisp subdirectory of ps-print: cd ./ps-print/lisp/ps-print 3. Type: make. On Unix or Cygwin-Environment, this will run the makefile file. On Windows 9X/NT/2000 environment, this will call make.bat. This will byte-compile all Emacs Lisp files (*.el files). 4. Install the prologue files. On GNU Emacs, the prologue files (ps-prin*.ps) should be installed in directory given by `data-directory' variable which contains a string like "/usr/share/emacs/20.3/etc/". On XEmacs, the prologue files (ps-prin*.ps) should be installed in directory given by `(locate-data-directory "ps-print")'. If you wish to install prologue files in another directory, you should customize `ps-postscript-code-directory' to contain the directory. I recommend this way. One way to set `ps-postscript-code-directory' is to insert in your ~/.emacs: (setq ps-postscript-code-directory "/directory/of/prologue/files/") ;; (I recommend this way) Or type: M-x set-variable RET ps-postscript-code-directory RET "/directory/of/prologue/files/" RET Or type: M-x ps-print-customize RET and customize `ps-postscript-code-directory'.
