On Unix, printers can be added, removed and configured via printer-configuration-dialog . On Windows, the equivalent functionality is on the Printer Control Panel.
A simple printing API is available via simple-print-port , which prints the contents of an output-pane to a printer.
The Hardcopy API also provides a means of printing plain text to a printer. The functions print-text, print-file and print-editor-buffer can be used for this.
