Once you have set up the Unix command `lpr <filename>' to work
correctly, you should be able to use all the printing commands in
Emacs.

The Lexmark Optra 312 is a Postscript printer, so you should be able
to do this.  There are different bits information on the web on how to
do this, so perhaps you will need to experiment a little.  Try the
