I use this on Windows XP and it works perfectly ("HOST" and
"Printer" must be set appropriately)

      (setq-default ps-lpr-command "print")
      (setq-default ps-printer-name "\\\\HOST\\Printer")
      (setq-default ps-printer-name-option "/D:")
      (setq-default ps-lpr-switches nil)
      (setq-default ps-spool-config nil)

With Ghostscript installed one can get the usual Windows printer
dialog thing with

      (setq-default ps-lpr-command "gsprint.exe")
      (setq-default ps-printer-name t)
      (setq-default ps-printer-name-option nil)
      (setq ps-lpr-switches '("-query")) ; show printer dialog

I wish dialog boxes had a butten saying "Whatever".  I hate being
forced to answer "Yes" or "No" to a question I have no opinion on
whatsoever.  There ought to be a button matching my indifference.
