+@vindex ps-print-color-p
+  If your printer doesn't support colors, you should turn off color
+processing by setting @code{ps-print-color-p} to @code{nil}.  By
+default, if the display supports colors, Emacs produces hardcopy output
+with color information; on black-and-white printers, colors are emulated
+with shades of gray.  This might produce illegible output, even if your
+screen colors only use shades of gray.

+@vindex ps-use-face-background
+  By default, PostScript printing ignored the background of the faces,
+unless the variable @code{ps-use-face-background} is set to a
+non-@code{nil} value.  This is to avoid unwanted interference with the
+zebra stripes and background image/text.
