Good.

Maybe we can improve that.  What does this display in "emacs -Q" on
that machine?

  M-: (default-printer-name) RET

I don't have access to Windows 8, but I just tried your recipe on
Windows 7 which is configured to use a printer share on a different
machine, specified with an IP address (similar to your case), and in
my case the printer name is auto-detected correctly. i.e. it has the
printer's share name following the IP address of the server.
