This is major stone-age ;; here! ;; ;; I propose junking that package entirely and creating a unified, ;; modern API here that will work well with modern GUI's on top of it, ;; and with various different actual implementations (e.g. lpr or the ;; pretty-print package on Unix, built-in msprinter support on ;; Windows), where the workings of a particular implementation is ;; hidden from the user and there is a consistent set of options to ;; control how to print, which works across all implementations. ;; ;; The code here is just a start and needs a huge amount of work. Probably ;; the interfaces below will change and the functions renamed.
