On Version 1.5.0  (2002-04-29) for Windows, the following brings up a plot, then
a printer selection window, and produces a printed plot:
> plot(1:10,1:10)
> dev.print(win.print)
but with focus on the graphics window, neither the printer button, the printer
selection from the file menu, nor CTRL-P do anything.  No printer window
appears.  These all work in version 1.4.1 on the same machine, on the same day. 
I tried re-installing R 1.5.0 from a freshly downloaded SetupR.exe, and the same
thing happened.
I can use the file menu to save to a PDF file, or to copy to the clipboard, but
not to directly print the contents of the graphics window.

The R for Windows FAQ, Version for rw1050, states "You can print the graphics
window from its menu or by using dev.print with suitable arguments (see its help
page: most likely dev.print(win.graph) will work)."  The reference to win.graph
should probably be to win.print.
