Trouble Printing from GNU Emacs 20.7.1 on WinXP

Hi,

Like them user who posted the msg "Printing from Emacs" at some point last
week, I'm having trouble setting up GNU Emacs 20.7.1 to print.

I downloaded a zipped package of "w32-print" .el files from the website
ref'd under "Tech Specs" to help with invoking printing.

What I want to print: nothing complicated. I just want to be able to print
plain-text, straight from Emacs.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
