Which I have tried to make clear once again would be the wrong solution.
Unfortunately much more is needed to use the Windows printing interface.
Just as you I am happy to quit this discussion now. I want to say a last
word to clarify my position on this: If anyone want to write the piece
of code that is required for using the Windows printing interface from
within Emacs that would very nice. That would be the right solution in
my opinion. (As far as I know this will always bring up a box from the
Windows printing interface asking for some options for printing. But I
am not sure.)
I do not know how much work this is. What I believe is that it should
mimic the code in Emacs writing to the screen. There are surely code
doing this kind of things in projects like Firefox, OpenOffice.org etc.
