I understand that some people choose not to install Ghostscript, but are
there cases where they *couldn't* install it?
I think we should more actively encourage the use of Ghostscript
under Windows. E.g. we may want to provide a link to an appropriate
web-page. And advertize the fact that it would allow them to print to
PDF as well from any application as well (anything that can undermine
Adobe is good in my book).

This is not a bad option (especially because it can be valuable under
GNU/Linux as well, and also can be used for other purposes such as
web-publishing), but the advantage of using Ghostscript instead is that
all the rest of Emacs's printing code can be used.
