Well Setting up printing in windows from emacs can be an adventure
The settings that I have are these:

(require 'printing)
(setq printer-name "//network/path/to/printer")
(setq ps-printer-name t)
(setenv "GS_LIB" "D:/Program Files/gs/gs8.63/lib")
(setq ps-lpr-command "D:/Program Files/gs/gs8.63/bin/gswin32c.exe")
(setq ps-lpr-switches '( "-dNOPAUSE" "-dBATCH" "-sDEVICE=mswinpr2"))

and it seems to work (remember to modify your gs paths and network (or
otherwise) printer paths suitably)
The stuff associated with the require 'printing was completely
confusing to me and this worked only when I gave up on that.  But this
(at least the ps-(B/W printing) only works with that included
