\(Note that PostScript files are sent to `ps-printer-name', which see.\)
On Unix-like systems, a string value should be a name understood by
lpr's -P option.
On MS-DOS and MS-Windows systems, it is the name of a printer device or
port. Typical non-default settings would be \"LPT1\" to \"LPT3\" for
parallel printers, or \"COM1\" to \"COM4\" or \"AUX\" for serial
printers, or \"//hostname/printer\" for a shared network printer. You
can also set it to a name of a file, in which case the output gets
appended to that file. If you want to discard the printed output, set
this to \"NUL\"."
