Solved!!!

Strangely, I get an error about pexpr not being available in my
default win32 build (I don't have +postscript built in).  Maybe
having +postscript precludes the use of the Win32 common print
dialog?

That is indeed the issue.  I disabled postscript and now the print
dialog displays when I do a ':ha'.  I'm not sure if this is by design
or if this is a bug, anyone?

Thanx!

I think it is by design:
----8<----
                                                        *pexpr-option*
'printexpr' 'pexpr'     String  (default: see below)
                        global
Expression that is evaluated to print the PostScript produced with
|:hardcopy|.
---->8----

IMHO the ":help :hardcopy" section should make it more explicit:


On MS-Windows, *unless +postscript has been compiled-in, which is usually not the case,* a dialog is displayed (etc.)

On other systems, PostScript is written (etc.)




and, if 'printexpr' is indeed not present on -postscript systems, ":help 'printexpr'" should IMHO include

        {only available when compiled with the |+postscript| feature}

Of course, as mentioned at the top of that helpfile (print.txt), nothing that relates to printing is available without +printer compiled-in.


Best regards,
Tony.
