That made me write a script that makes it very easy to use the default printer setup on MS Windows. I saw that there had been some diskussions here about using the default MS Windows printer. My approach follows some suggestions made on http://www.emacswiki.org/. You may find more information there. The script is found in the download area as wthreetwo-winprint.el (should be w32-winprint.el, but numbers can't be used in the file names there). Comments and suggestions are welcome. Kind regards, Lennart
