Did you try it? I have not yet seen a more easy way to print with Emacs 
on MS Windows. Before I wrote this I tested all the alternatives in the 
Emacs MS Windows FAQ. Nothing worked for the networked printers on my job.

With this solution you just load an elisp file and call a function that 
adds printing to the menus. That is it. You do not have to tell where 
the printer is or what type it is.

What you get is printing in colors (if your printer supports it of 
course). It looks exactly as that you have on your screen in Emacs. This 
is what I need. What you perhaps miss is some formatting that can be 
done using the postscript printing solutions in Emacs.

But I may be biased of course ;-)
