[ESS] printing a file

[Tim Hesterberg]

I have this in my .emacs:

(if atWorkPC (prog1
  (setq printer-name "\\\\Printserver\\SP")
  (setq lpr-command "C:/Progra~1/Windows NT/Accessories/wordpad.exe")
))

When I use lpr-buffer or a similar command, emacs opens wordpad,
and emacs hangs until I exit wordpad.

I don't think that printer-name is used; I use the normal print dialog
in wordpad to select the printer, and it defaults to another printer.
