Do the following:

1) Download and install GPL Ghostscript for Windows here:

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

2) Configure Emacs to use Ghostscript for PostScript printing:

>   ps-printer-name t)

...adjusting the path name for the exact version of Ghostscript you've
installed, of course.  Note that I'm using an older version above; I
assume it'll work the same with Ghostscript 9.00, but I haven't tried it
myself.  8.64 is still available for download if in doubt.

Then you just need to use the ps-print-* commands instead of the print-*
commands, for instance M-x ps-print-buffer.  When you do, a Windows
print dialog should pop up, which you can use to select your printer and
modify print settings just like in most other Windows applications.

I hope this helps,
