Isn't this what my patch does?

dos-w32.el: Add `default-printer-name' stuff to
`direct-print-region-function' and `direct-ps-print-region-function'.

I also tampered with the following files, but maybe that isn't necessary:

lpr.el: Add `default-printer-name' stuff to `print-region-1'.
ps-print.el: Add `default-printer-name' stuff to `ps-do-despool'.
play/handwrite.el: Add `default-printer-name' stuff to `handwrite'.
