Then I suggest to download and install PrintFile
(http://www.lerup.com/printfile/), and then configure Emacs to use
that program as the printer driver.  Something like this (in your
~/.emacs file):

 (setq printer-name nil)
 (setq lpr-command "C:/Program Files/PrintFile/prfile32.exe")
 (setq lpr-switches '("/q"))
 (setq ps-lpr-command "C:/Program Files/PrintFile/prfile32.exe")
 (setq ps-lpr-switches '("/q"))
