Perhaps we should give up trying to make printing work out of the box on 
Windows, and instead produce an error by default telling the user they 
need to configure printing. In an office environment, printers are 
likely to be on the network, and the user will have to configure Emacs 
anyway. In a home environment, the printer is increasingly likely to be 
a USB connected inkjet or cheap laser that does not expose a character 
device for Windows to map to PRN.
