Yuck!  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.
