Bug in ps-print.el?

Hi all,

Here is a transcript of a scratch buffer session:

---

(current-buffer)
#<buffer *scratch*>

(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu)
 of 2004-10-16 on raven, modified by Debian"

(progn
  (setq ps-selected-pages '(1))
  (ps-print-buffer nil))
t

; works fine printing this scratch buffer

(progn
  (setq ps-selected-pages '(1))
  (set-buffer "*info*") ; info buffer - emacs (Top)
  (ps-print-buffer nil))
t

; doesn't work - printer gears up and then winds down without doing
; anything and spooled PS file ends up in /var/spool/cups/

(shell-command "sudo ls -l /var/spool/cups" t)
536
total 32

drwxrwx--T  2 root lpadmin 4096 Jan 10 02:09 tmp

; As you can see there are several failed print jobs here.
; I'm only using the *info* buffer as an example.  Behaviour is
; completely erratic on all buffers if individual pages and/or
; page-ranges are attempted.

; Printing the whole buffer (all pages) works fine.

; I have got some ranges to work by expanding the range beyond my
; requirements and then getting the range I'm after.

I'm re-submitting this report.  First posted 12th Jan 05, no response.
Problem persists.

Sincerely,

Sebastian Tennant
