Looks a bit old-fashioned! If, in your .emacs, you have a custom-set-
variables section, change it to something like the following:

(custom-set-variables
 '(printer-name "//JRANCIER/hp_laser_jet" t)
 '(ps-printer-name "//JRANCIER/hp_laser_jet" t)
 '(ps-use-face-background nil))
(custom-set-faces)

I guess (though I haven't tried it) that something like:

(let ((printer "//JRANCIER/hp_laser_jet"))
  (set-variable 'ps-use-face-background nil)
  (setq ps-printer-name printer)
  (setq printer-name printer))

Might work. Possibly worth a try.

Hope this is of use.
