I discovered that I can use VBScript to enumerate available printers.
There may even be a way to query the w32 registry via Emacs for the 
system default printer.

I'd like to present users with a dialog box, to choose a printer.
Since Emacs allows certain widgets/Windows controls in Customize 
buffers, and Emacs allows popups, can I put radio buttons and/or check 
boxes into a popup dialog box?

Otherwise, some sample code, which makes it easy to populate a Customize 
buffer with options and a submit button, to act like a dialog box, would 
be appreciated.

Who knows? Perhaps it will be possible to scan /etc/printcap or 
Gnome/KDE settings, to choose a printer at runtime.
