Setting up printing on windows is quite a feat
I hardly understand all the details but what Ive figured out on my
setup is:

At the least I need these two things
(setq printer-name "//network/path/to/printer")
(setq ps-printer-name t)

However this prints without the typical printer dialog that all other
windows applications give.
If I add
(setq ps-lpr-command "C:/Program Files/gs/gs8.63/bin/
gswin32c.exe")  ;; obviously use the correct path for you here which
means also setup ghostscript.
(setq ps-lpr-switches '( "-dNOPAUSE" "-dBATCH" "-sDEVICE=mswinpr2"))
then the dialog also appears.

I find this mysterious because these variables seem to be part of the
printing package (without (require 'printing) no help is available for
them) but yet they change the behavior of printing
