Don't we have a better way than to submit print jobs to Notepad and Explorer?? If we need to use external programs at all (and I know of only one such case: when the printer in question is a network printer that is not available as a Windows share of the form \\server\share\printer), then I'd suggest a free program called PrintFile32 (available from http://www.lerup.com/printfile/). Configure Emacs to use it as a replacement for the Unix lpr program. But I'd like first to hear from the OP which of the advice he's been given he tried, and what and how didn't work. In most cases, it is not necessary to use external programs, as Emacs can do the job itself.
