Subject: 28.2; M-x pr-interface raises error
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2023 12:53:05 -0500

M-x pr-interface raises an error on multiple machines (all running the
same Emacs version).  To reproduce:

1. emacs -Q
2. M-x load-library RET printing RET
3. M-x pr-interface RET

An error is raised:

widget-default-create: Wrong type argument: listp, "*scratch*"

The *Printing Interface* buffer looks like this (complete contents):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
                                             printing v6.9.3    ps-print v7.3.5
Current Directory : /home/keith/
Print :
  (*) Buffer :
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The same error occurs if I select:

File / Print / Printing Interface

from the menu bar.

I can reproduce this in Emacs 28.2, but not in the pretest of what
will become Emacs 29.1.  So I guess this bug was already fixed.
