Even if this actually turns out to be a so-called > simpleminded question. Did you try the advice in the Emacs manual? It is in the node named "Windows Printing". If you tried that and it didn't work, I suggest to install PrintFile (http://www.lerup.com/printfile/) and configure lpr-command and lpr-switches, resp. ps-lpr-command and ps-lpr-switches to have the Emacs print commands use that program as a printer spooler. (The above-mentioned node in the manual explains how to do these customizations and shows an example.) PrintFile can print to the default system printer or to any other printer defined on your Windows box.
