Instead of running emacs directly from the button run a
small script to do your environment setting and then to exec emacs.
It would be something like this.
*FvwmButtons (Title "Emacs", Action `Exec em', Icons emacs.xpm)
chmod u+x em
where em is a file like:
#! /bin/csh -f
setenv PRINTER "dj500"
exec emacs
