What happens if you just run gswin32c from the command line with the
above switches:

 set GS_LIB=e:\Tools\gs\gs8.61;e:\Tools\gs\fonts
 e:\Tools\gs\gs8.61\bin\gswin32c -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=mswinpr2
foo.ps

where foo.ps is some PostScript file?  Does it work then?

No it did not work from the command line. The file gs-init.ps was not found.
Adding \lib to the definition of GS_LIB did the trick. A similar
modification to my .emacs file and a successful print from emacs.

The structure of the gs distribution evolved a bit from the release 5.50
cited in the FAQ.

Thanks
