Try:
M-x customize-variable RET printer-name RET


If you have somebody complaining that something.1 is not something.2,
perhaps a good solution would be to make something.1 be something.2,
don't you think?

So, why not set printer-name to a string, instead of a list?

For the same reason. Why do you keep assigning a list to printer-name?

Well, apart the syntaxic problem above, I don't know anything about
MS-Windows, and I don't know how printers are named on MS-Window or
how to find that out. Try to google for emacs ms-windows printer or
something...
