OK.  I can't test printing on Windows either, so I hope someone else
will do that and report back.

I haven't tried it, but I have one comment:

It seems to me that it would be best if there was some way for users
to choose the name of the ghostscript interpreter to use.

Ok, I'll use something like the above to set the default, and add an
option for setting the name of the ghostscript binary.

I check MS's online reference for their command line. The "lpr" command does exist, but has a slighly different syntax.

Updated changeset attached.

<changeset-print_using_gs.patch>

I've pushed this changeset. If anyone has trouble printing let me know (particularly on Windows).
