Re: [Orgmode] printing error

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi William

looks like the Emacs 22.3 version of ps-print has this problem.
 I am using Emacs 23, and do not have this problem.

The problem seems to be related to list face definition, maybe
you are using them for org-todo-keyword-faces, for example?

If you define these special faces as faces and then add them as
faces (not lists) to that variable, maybe the problem can be  
circumvented?
