My printer is an hp LaserJet 1010 connected via USB and the printer
driver properties show that it is connect to the port DOT4_001. I
think the problem is that "c:/" has been prepended to the port name.

Windows does that behind your back because DOT4_001 is not a real port, so it gets treated as a file name in the default-directory. To print on such a printer directly, you will have to share it and configure Emacs to use the network share name, or I think there is a way to redirect a real port (eg LPT1) to such a USB port.

I see that the same thing happens in Emacs 22.3. (I don't print from
Emacs very often!)

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/NTEmacs/emacs-23.0.93/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
