It's certainly much easier to get something out of Emacs and down in 
black and white (color too) using printing through the browser rather 
than through ghost-script. Virtually every w32 user has a browser but 
very many don't have ghost-script installed. I think that I once had the 
latter method working since I have lines similar to rustom's commented 
out in my .emacs. To get printing through Firefox all I had to do was 
download:

hfyview.el
htmlfontify.el

These are in my emacs/lisp directory but they could probably go in 
emacs/emacs-lisp instead, where the other piece of the puzzle, 
easymenu.el resides.

Then add to .emacs:

(require 'hfyview)

After restarting (or maybe just rereading .emacs) a new item appears in 
the File menu:

Quick Printing (Using Web Browser)
