I have been having problems getting any output from
[lpr|print]-[buffer|region].  I have tried to change the variable
"lpr-switches" in Edit-Options to ("-PiD") [our printer's id is iD].

The first question is, how does one specify a list when using the "s"
command within Edit-Option?  If I type ("-PiD") in the mini-buffer, it
responds with "Invalid function: "-PiD"".  So, I just went in and
editted the line to read as it should (as I understand it, at least.) 
When I ran the print-buffer, it comes back with "Spooling ..." and
finally "Spooling Done" ... but no output appears.  I'd love to be able
to print out messages from within rmail.  Does anyone know what kind of
arcanity I must do?

I am using version 18.52 of Emacs.

Steve
