Subject: 23.3; print-buffer may need improvement under MAC OSX
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:56:39 -0400

    I'm using the Emacs for OSX, GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin,
    NS apple-appkit-1038.35) of 2011-03-09 on black.porkrind.org,
    which I obtained from this URL: http://emacsformacosx.com/
    
    The printing is not working perfectly. The function (print-buffer)
    will lead to a printed paper like this

    -------------------
    | abcdefgabcd|
    -------------------

    instead of

    -------------------
    |  abcdefabc   |
    -------------------

    And I really failed to find out where I could setup the margin. And I did
    try to print with postscript,
    but in that case, the font is really small, and adjusting the fonts is
    another headache.

(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the "like this" illustrations here.
I don't think `print-buffer' outputs any frames around the printed
matter?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
