lpr w/Mac os x

[Brian Tibbetts]

Hello,

I'm new to mac but not emacs.  I'm trying to get lpr set up and running into a 
problem.  
I've tested the following line from bash:

lpr -p -P Lexmark_X500_Series__00d21f_ simple-print.el

It works well an prints directly with a header as I wish.  

When I load the script below (including a clean load of emacs with just this 
file) and use print-buffer, I don't get quite the expected result.  emacs 
generates a pretty colored html file (this is fine) but without the header.  
The script below reflects my playing around trying to get the header to print.  
Also, instead of going directly to the printer as intended, a print/preview 
dialog box is popped.  Most important part of the my problem is the lack of a 
header.  However, help with either aspect would be much appreciated. 

Thanks, Brian
