Ive not used a network printer with emacs23 and windows

But this is elisp setup when I used it with 22 (printer-name is
probably redundant)
Basically it prints through ghostscript which needs to be available of
course

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