I have no idea how you print in a Windows environment, but, assuming
that you don't do a whole lot of printing you might want to take a look
at M-x htmlize-buffer.  This generates an html representation of your
buffer including CSS for colors etc.  You can then save this HTML file
somewhere and open it in Firefox (or whatever browser you use) and print
from there.

You might also try and take a look at:

I hope that's helpful.
