I thought that maybe this could be done the way I do printing in 
EmacsW32. I let htmlize.el convert the buffer to HTML and then the 
web-browser prints it. (This could be done on any system that has a 
web-browser, but EmacsW32 implements this for w32 only. Just a little 
change to the code should make the "preview" part portable I realize 
right now ...)

Unfortunately this did not work for the ediff buffer in my test now.

Hrvoje, you are the author of this excellent package. Do you know why it 
does not work for an ediff buffer? Or rather: maybe can I guess why, but 
is that something you plan to implement?;-)
