I installed a more recent version of Emacs: GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-06-10 on MARVIN
If I remove everything to do with printing from my .emacs or start emacs with -q option, I see: Printing... direct-print-region-helper: Opening output file: permission denied, c:/172.18.48.135(0) What is this telling me? Is there a variable I need to set to specify where to build the output file?
