Try:

(setq ps-landscape-mode t
ps-spool-duplex t
ps-line-number t
ps-zebra-stripes t
ps-zebra-stripe-height 1)

in your .emacs. You can read about these variables in the Emacs
"Postscript Variables" info node, or the beginning of the ps-print.el lisp
file. You can even put background images behind your text, change the
headers, etc.

One caveat: the little printer button is bound to `print-buffer' which
comes from a separate piece of printing code (one of the joys and
frustrations of Emacs is the variety of packages available which do very
similar things). Either just "M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces", or, for
bonus points, figure out how to change what the print-button calls.
