Thank you. I do still have your original mail in my to-look-at list,
it has not been forgotten completely.

I wonder whether it is really necessary to add two new user variables
to get this functionality.  We already have `printer-name', perhaps
setting it to nil should select the system's default printer, as it
does on other systems. In general we want to avoid introducing new
variables, especially OS specific ones.
