Humm, trying the initialization above, I can see that ps-print is loaded

I suspected as much. What causes that?
What does the backtrace say?
Well, now I see what causes that, it's my ~/.emacs file.
If the ~/.emacs file have:
(setq initial-frame-alist (append '((background-color "DarkSlateGray"))
initial-frame-alist))
(setq default-frame-alist (append '((background-color "DarkSlateGray"))
default-frame-alist))
(require 'printing) ; or (require 'ps-print)
then ps-print is loaded before initial-frame-alist has any effect, so,
ps-default-bg is set to white.
I think that initial-frame-alist will take effect only after ~/.emacs is
loaded.

Ok, could I implement it now in Emacs 22 before the release?
Yes. But please also investigate what causes ps-print to be loaded
early.
Ok
