What for? I've read the code, and I understand what it does. I don't
doubt for a second that it will work, because I know what ShellExecute
is and does on Windows.

How is it easier than setting up lpr-program and printer-name in your
`.emacs' (which is what I do on all the Windows machines I use)?

The NTEmacs FAQ is very old and probably outdated; it is no longer
maintained, AFAIK. If you wish to retrace the testing you did back
there, I'm sure we could find a solution that is better than passing
the buck to Notepad.

You are free to do what you want, but I have grave reservations about
recommending such solutions to Emacs users at large, while other
solutions exist. Certainly not as the first alternative. IMHO, at
the very least.
