Documentation

Generate and print a PostScript image of the buffer.

Interactively, when you use a prefix argument (C-u (universal-argument)), the command prompts the user for a file name, and saves the PostScript image in that file instead of sending it to the printer.

Noninteractively, the argument FILENAME is treated as follows: if it is nil, send the image to the printer. If FILENAME is a string, save the PostScript image in a file with that name.
