If interactive is t then print-dialog is called to select the printer to use. If interactive is nil then printer is used unless it is nil in which case the current-printer is used. The default value of interactive is t and the default value of printer is nil.

The values of jobname and tab-spacing are passed to print-text, which is used to actually do the printing. The default value of tab-spacing is 8 and the default value of jobname is "Text".
