RE: [h-e-w] print-NT.el

[Jeff Rancier]

The weird thing is that if I kill *scratch* and try it, it will fail the
same way as before.

I changed the buffer name from *remote print* to *scratch* and it works.
Strange.  The only thing I lose is the name of the file.

I don't think so.  I think it may have something to do with ange-ftp.  I'm
sure there is a hook of sorts in the print stuff.  Here is my current
function.  It works fine on a buffer that isn't using ange-ftp.  Otherwise,
it trys to use rsh, which was the whole reason I started this endeavour!
It's like somehow the properties (i.e. being visited via ange-ftp) of
CURRBUFF are getting passed to TMPBUFF.  It creates the buffer correctly???

(defun jbr-print-remote-file()
  "Allow printing of remote files locally.
Use when no rshd exists or is not active on the remote system."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (let ((tmpname "*remote print*") (start 0) (end 0))
      (if (and transient-mark-mode (not mark-active))
          (progn
            (setq start (point-min))
            (setq end (point-max)))
        (progn
          (set 'start (point))
          (set 'end (mark))))
      (let ((currbuff (current-buffer)))
        (set-buffer (get-buffer-create tmpname))
        (erase-buffer)
        (insert-buffer-substring currbuff start end)
        (message "Printing %s ..." tmpname)
        (nt-ps-print-buffer)))))

Does nt-ps-print-buffer somehow use rsh?  If not, I don't see any
way that rsh would get invoked from this code.  Forgive the obvious
question...are you sure the code you posted is actually getting called?
I've sometimes changed a defun and either forgot to re-eval it or
re-evaled it but didn't notice it had an error and never took the
place of the old code.

If not, are you saying that simply invoking jbr-print-remote-file
somehow invokes rsh?  Very strange indeed...
