I use this on Windows XP and it works perfectly ("HOST" and
"Printer" must be set appropriately)
(setq-default ps-lpr-command "print")
(setq-default ps-printer-name "\\\\HOST\\Printer")
(setq-default ps-printer-name-option "/D:")
(setq-default ps-lpr-switches nil)
(setq-default ps-spool-config nil)
With Ghostscript installed one can get the usual Windows printer
dialog thing with
(setq-default ps-lpr-command "gsprint.exe")
(setq-default ps-printer-name t)
(setq-default ps-printer-name-option nil)
(setq ps-lpr-switches '("-query")) ; show printer dialog

I wish dialog boxes had a butten saying "Whatever". I hate being
forced to answer "Yes" or "No" to a question I have no opinion on
whatsoever. There ought to be a button matching my indifference.
