I followed this easy tutorial: http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/node/3821/print and found the process to be painless. I think that all of my work with Ruby and the UNIX command line has made the idea of the windows command line a lot less scary!

To install some of the packages that I was trying to install PEAR for, I had to upgrade the PEAR installation. Fortunately, I am finding a lot of correlations between PEAR and Ruby GEMS. To update the PEAR installation itself, simply enter the following in a windows command prompt:

pear upgrade pear
